Remapping Ethiopia
by Wendy James, Donald L Donham, and Eisei Kurimoto Alessandro Triu
Published 1 January 2002
This new volume examines similar themes to those in The Southern Marches of Imperial Ethiopia , taking the story forward through the major changes effected by the socialist regime from the revolution of 1974 to its overthrow in 1991, and then into the current period which has been marked by moves towards local democracy and political devolution.
This pioneering book, first published to wide acclaim in 1986, traces the way the Ethiopian center and the peripheral regions of the country affected each other. It looks specifically at the expansion of the highland Ethiopian state into the western and southern lowlands from the 1890s up to 1974.
