| Description: | Ethiopia secured its political independence at the end of the nineteenth century, in part by adapting to modern forms of warfare. this allowed it to control its economic and political engagement with the West, and to chart its own patterns of "modernization", far more than any other African country. |
| Key Points: | Bahru Zewde, one of the foremost historians of modern Ethiopia, has constructed a collective biography of a remarkable group of men and women in a formative period of their country's history. He traces their influence on the articulation and resolution of such central political issues such as "the national question" and the legacy of these reformist intellectuals on the revolutionary intellectuals of the 1960's and 1970's. It is a unique contribution to the intellectual history of both modern Ethiopia and modern Africa. |
