Ethiopia

Conquest and the Quest for Freedom and Democracy

Edited by Seyoum Hameso, Trevor Trueman and Temesgen Erena, TSC, 1997

An authentic account of the history and politics of Ethiopian Empire remained elusive due to myth and misinformation. The contributors to this volume argue that much of what has been known is founded on myth. Now that the Western perception of Ethiopia's history and politics happened to be very different to that held by the majority of the empire's population. This book addresses these intellectual voids. This book provides a challenging interpretation by demystifying official Ethiopian history and by exposing the crimes that have been committed on the colonised nations for more than a century. Contributors to this book go to the heart of the problems of the Ethiopian Empire.
