Oromia and Ethiopia: State Formation and Ethnonational Conflict, 1868-2004

by Asafa Jalata

Traces the cultural and political history of the Oromo, their colonisation and incorporation into teh modern state of Ethiopia and their long struggle for self-determination and democracy. Focusing on the development of class and nation-class contradictions manifested in the continuing crisis of the Ethiopian state, Jalata examines why the reorganisation of the state in the '70s and '90s failed to change the nature of Ethiopian colonialism.
