An ideal resource for anyone interested in learning about Ethiopia,
this accessible, single-volume work provides all-encompassing and
up-to-date coverage of the ancient and diverse cultures of Africa's
second-most populated nation. Explore the fascinating culture of
Ethiopia, a highly diverse nation built on the foundations of
ancient kingdoms-truly a melting pot of traditions from Africa as
well as other continents. With increasing freedom of speech and
growing access to technology, Ethiopians are better able-and more
eager-than ever to share ideas, art, and information not only with
each other, but with the rest of the world. This detailed volume
offers readers informed perspectives on one of the world's oldest
populations, covering its long-ago history as well as its evolution
in the 21st century. Readers will discover Ethiopa's collection of
written and oral stories, unique art and architecture inspired by
royalty and religion, delicious cuisine, and many forms of music,
dress, and dance. The book's chapters also describe important
changes in Ethiopia's social customs, prevalent attitudes regarding
women, and the nation's historically oppressive political system.
Presents comprehensive, current coverage of Ethiopia that includes
the latest archaeological findings and socio-economic and political
developments as well as previously overlooked topics such as
gender, slavery, and migration Addresses the major famines in
Ethiopia in the 1980s that led to the deaths of thousands of people
and served as the reason many Westerners first became aware of this
African nation Describes all of the major ethnic groups of
Ethiopia, including the Afar, Amhara, Oromo, Sidamo, Somalis, and
Tigray
