Ethiopians in an Age of Migration: Scattered lives beyond borders

Editat de Fassil Demissie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 oct 2018
The migration of Ethiopians across international borders is a recent phenomenon because of the limited integration of the country and society to the global economy. Since it was never colonized – aside from the Italian occupation of 1936-1941 – Ethiopia’s economy and society were not directly impacted by the ebb and flow of the global economy, and thus never generated international migration. Beginning in the 1970s, due to factors such as famine, rural poverty, civil war, and political repression, an unprecedented number of Ethiopian migrants began to leave their country in search of better, more secure lives. Today, this diaspora constitutes a distinctive community dispersed across the world, but bound by a common feeling of collectiveness and a shared history of the homeland.
The contributors to this volume draw their work from a wide variety of interdisciplinary fields and provide new critical insight on Ethiopian migrants and their diaspora communities. What has emerged from these scholarly works is the recognition that the Ethiopian diaspora – although separated by oceans and nations, by politics, ethnicity, class, gender and age – are carving out a social and material world born out of their particular circumstances both "here" and "there". This book was originally published as a special issue of African and Black Diaspora: An International Journal.

Descriere

Ethiopians in the Age of Migration is a multi-disciplinary exploration of Ethiopian migrants and the global Ethiopian diaspora, born out of the social and cultural space created by local and transnational conflict. The book is an important contribution to a largely overlooked country and to the wider field of migration studies, which lies at the core of ongoing globalization. This book was originally published as a special issue of African and Black Diaspora: An International Journal.
