This work combines history, anthropology and sociology to answer two questions: why did Ethiopia remain independent under European expansionism while other African political entities were colonized?; and why must Ethiopia be considered a single cultural region despite its diversity?
Greater Ethiopia combines history, anthropology, sociology to answer and two major questions. Why did Ethiopia remain independent under the onslaught of European expansionism while other African political entities were colonized? And why must Ethiopia be considered a single cultural region despite its political, religious, and linguistic diversity? Donald Levine contributes to both Ethiopian interpretive history and to sociological analysis. In his new, preface, Levine examines Ethiopia since the in the 1970s.
