Historically, studies of Ethiopia, like those of other countries,
tend to concentrate on events at or near the center of political
power, and devote far too little attention to other areas. The
present account attempts at least in part to redress the balance by
shifting attention to the"peripheral" regions, which, while of
central importance to their own inhabitants, tend to receive
relatively little focus in studies of the Ethiopian region as a
whole. This book is an historical investigative account of the
history of the expanding and often nebulous borders of Ethiopia
beginning from ancient times to 1800. It deals with areas that have
for years been contentious and problematic for the adjacent peoples
in the region: land of the Bhar Nagasah, Ifat, Adal, Fatagar
Daiwaro, Bali, Damot, Gurage, Waj, Gamo, Ganz, Gafat, etc. It
contains numerous illustrations of antiquities, from old European
maps to Ethiopian historical drawings.
