Muslim Ethiopia: The Christian Legacy, Identity Politics and
Islamic Reformism is a pioneering collection of studies on Islam in
contemporary Ethiopia. This volume challenges the popular notion of
a 'Christian Ethiopia' imagined as the centuries-old,
never-colonized Abyssinia, isolated in the highlands and dominated
by Orthodox Christianity. In addition to marginalizing Muslim
cultures and societies within Ethiopia, this notion has also
excluded Muslims from public discourse and led to the neglect of
Islam in Ethiopian studies. This is strikingly at odds with the
country's cultural and historical reality, as Muslims constitute a
significant part of the population and have contributed
significantly to its development. Muslim Ethiopia develops this
overlooked nexus of Ethiopian and Islamic Studies, while broadening
our understandings of Muslims in Africa as a whole.
