About the book

Since 1991, there has been renewed debate in Ethiopia concerning the implication of the country's past for the present government. The long-standing debate was given an added impetus by Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia and the threat of disintegration posed by the continual struggle for self-determination by other ethnonational groups. In this book, a team of historians and sociologists confront the scholarship of power' that dismisses politically engaged scholarship in the name of academic objectivity.'
