Islam, Ethnicity, and Conflict in Ethiopia: The Bale Insurgency, 1963-1970: African Studies, cartea 151

Autor Terje Østebø
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2022
Focusing on the role of religion and ethnicity in times of conflict, Terje Østebø investigates the Muslim-dominated insurgency against the Ethiopian state in the 1960s, shedding new light on this understudied case in order to contribute to a deeper understanding of religion, inter-religious relations, ethnicity, and ethno-nationalism in the Horn of Africa. Islam, Ethnicity and Conflict in Ethiopia develops new theoretical perspectives on the interrelations between ethnic and religious identities, considering ethnic and religious groups as mutually exclusive categories by applying the term peoplehood as an analytical tool, one that allows for more flexible perspectives. Exploring the interplay of imagination and lived, affective reality, and inspired by the 'materiality turn' in cultural- and religious studies, Østebø argues for an integrated approach which recognizes and explores embodiment and emplacement as intrinsic to formations of ethnic and religious identities.

Recenzii

'Resisting a single-cause explanation, Ostebo's critical analysis of the rebellion that swept the Bale province of Ethiopia from 1963-1970 contextualizes the rebellion at the interface of two connected processes; Bale's culture and recent history as a frontier-province, and the dominant political processes and administrative practices through which the Ethiopian state was expanded and consolidated. In doing so, Ostebo underscores the centrality of previously over looked mutual exclusions between Bale's Muslim and Christian communities.' Teferi Abate Adem, Yale University, Connecticut
'Grounded in decades of research among Oromo Muslims, this book reveals the intricate interplay of religion, ethnicity, and rule in Ethiopia. Tracking Oromo's fraught relations with the state through oral histories, obscure archives, and scholarly sources, Ostebo's richly nuanced analysis deepens understandings of Islam and conflict in Ethiopia and beyond.' Victoria Bernal, University of California, Irvine
'This gripping book is set in one of the darkest periods of Soviet history, the last years of Stalin. Using declassified materials Slaveski vividly shows how remaking Ukraine after the German occupation and the Red Army's defeat of the Wehrmacht was accompanied by corruption, violence and for many destitution. The result, as his brilliant analysis demonstrates, was incessant conflict between central and local authorities. The legacy of the chaotic post-war years is both an historical and contemporary phenomenon. This book is an invaluable contribution to understanding modern Ukraine.' John Barber, University of Cambridge
'This fascinating story of ordinary people fighting back successfully against Stalinist officialdom is an example of how scholars can draw larger implications from local studies. Filip Slaveski's important book offers a fresh approach to Stalinist economy and society. It changes our understanding of Soviet history after World War II by restoring agency to the lowly villagers and revealing the social tensions missed by previous historians.' Serhy Yekelchyk, University of Victoria
'This book vividly demonstrates how the combination of historiographic and anthropological approaches can help to better understand Ethiopia's past and present.' Ulf Engel, Connections
