In November 2012, the 18th International Conference of Ethiopian Studies was convened in Dire Dawa, a cosmopolitan city in the eastern lowlands of Ethiopia. This event gathered more than 300 international scholars from all disciplines of the humanities and social social sciences. Under the general theme of 'movement' these two volumes gather a collection of 70 papers that reflect recent trends in the field of Ethiopian studies. From local studies to regional and international perspectives, these studies question long term historical processes and current social and economic transformations. A number of contributions explore and give access to fresh sources of knowledge from unpublished or rediscovered texts and documents, from recordings of oral information, or from ethnographic observation. They also review literature, challenge conventional ideas and propose critical investigations on past and present issues, such as interethnic relations, women's role, development policies and their impact.

In the second half of the 1960s and the early 1970s, the Ethiopian student movement emerged from rather innocuous beginnings to become the major opposition force against the imperial regime in Ethiopia, contributing perhaps more than any other factor to the eruption of the 1974 revolution, a revolution that brought about not only the end of the long reign of Emperor Haile Sellassie, but also a dynasty of exceptional longevity. The student movement would be of fundamental importance in the shaping of the future Ethiopia, instrumental in both its political and social development. Bahru Zewde, himself one of the students involved in the uprising, draws on interviews with former student leaders and activists, as well as documentary sources, to describe the steady radicalisation of the movement, characterised particularly after 1965 by annual demonstrations against the regime and culminating in the ascendancy of Marxism-Leninism by the early 1970s. Almost in tandem with the global student movement, the year 1969 marked the climax of student opposition to the imperial regime, both at home and abroad. It was also in that year that students broached what came to be famously known as the "national question", ultimately resulting in the adoption in 1971of the Leninist/Stalinist principle of self-determination up to and including secession. On the eve of the revolution, the student movement abroad split into two rival factions; a split that was ultimately to lead to the liquidation of both and the consolidation of military dictatorship as well as the emergence of the ethno-nationalist agenda as the only viable alternative to the military regime. Bahru Zewde is Emeritus Professor of History at Addis Ababa University and Vice President of the Ethiopian Academy of Sciences. He has authored many books and articles, notably A History of Modern Ethiopia, 1855-1974 and Pioneers of Change in Ethiopia: The Reformist Intellectuals of the Early Twentieth Century. Finalist for the Bethwell A. Ogot Book Prize to the author of the best book on East African Studies, 2015. Ethiopia: Addis Ababa University Press (paperback)

Ethiopia: The Generation and its Heritage is a continuation of his past approach in critically probing Ethiopia's history. In doing so, Tesfaye undertakes an essential examination of the roots of ethnic political movements in Ethiopia. In order to expose its treacherous and destructive ideology, he goes back to ancient history before returning to the modern intricate political game of separatist movements. In his exposition to the issue, he projects an unusual frankness, narrating the particulars of ethnic political machinations as they represent themselves in the fabric of Ethiopian society. Tesfaye engages and sheds much needed light on sensitive political issues considered taboo, exposing the historical root of today's ethnic politics in Ethiopia. He demonstrates where and how the 'Oromo and Tigray-Tigrinya' movements emerged in Ethiopia's history - the emergence of a Tigray-Tigrinya racist ethnic movement after the death of Emperor Yohannes Ethiopia in 1889 which brought about the collapse of the Tigray ruling class. This ruling class is the founding father of the modern secessionist movement which is ruling Ethiopia today and one which gave the letter of independence to Eritrea. The Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front and the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front are one and the same. Tesfaye reveals the goal of these two twin extreme ethnic movements; the creation of a Tigray-Tigrinya independent state. Armed with historical facts, Tesfaye contends that the first goal of this project has been fulfilled by the creation of Eritrea with the Tigray separatist movement in power ultimately plotting towards the separation of all nationalities in Ethiopia. Delving through the past 130 years of Ethiopian history, the inception of the banda ruling class of Tigray-Tigrinya, how this class stood with colonial Italy and fought against Ethiopia is scrutinized. In doing so, Tesfaye illuminates the ethnic and ideological connections across time, aptly establishing the ethnic ideology of the so called Oromo Liberation Front as the grandchild of slave traders in Ethiopia's history. Tigray-Tigrinya and the OLF ethnic chauvinistic movements are modern Ethiopia's arch enemies. They are out to destroy the foundation of the Ethiopian state from its core. To achieve this, they are working hand in glove with the Arab enemies of Ethiopia, lead by Egypt. Unless the Ethiopian people are able to get organized and reclaim their countries' future in their hands, the disintegration of Ethiopia is imminent.

Focusing on the issue of the Oromo national struggle for liberation, statehood, and democracy, this book critically examines the dialectical relationship between Ethiopian colonialism and Oromo culture, epistemology, politics, and ideology in the context of the accumulated collective grievances of the Oromo nation. Specifically, the book identifies chains of sociological and historical factors that facilitated the development of Oromummaa (Oromo nationalism) and the Oromo national movement. It demonstrates how the Oromo national movement has been challenging and transforming Ethiopian imperial politics, tracks the different forms and phases of the movement, and maps out its future direction. Currently, the Oromo are the largest ethno-national group and political minority in the Ethiopian Empire. They were colonized and incorporated into Ethiopia as colonial subjects in the last decades of the 19th century through the alliance of Abyssinian/Ethiopian colonialism and European imperialism. Since their colonization, the Oromo people have been treated as second-class citizens and have been economically exploited and culturally and politically suppressed. Despite the fact that Oromo resistance to Ethiopian colonialism existed during the process of their colonization and subjugation, it was only in the 1960s and 1970s that Oromo nationalists initiated organized efforts to liberate their people. Presently, Oromo nationalism plays a central role in Ethiopian politics.

The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), founded as a small guerrilla movement in 1974, became the leading party in the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). After decades of civil war, the EPRDF defeated the government in 1991, and has been the dominant party in Ethiopia ever since. Its political agenda of federalism, revolutionary democracy and a developmental state has been unique and controversial. Drawing on his own experience as a senior member of the TPLF/EPRDF leadership, and his unparalleled access to internal documentation, Mulugeta Gebrehiwot Berhe identifies the organizational, political and sociocultural factors that contributed to victory in the revolutionary war, particularly the Front's capacity for intellectual leadership. Charting its challenges and limitations, he analyses how the EPRDF managed the complex transition from a liberation movement into an established government. Finally, he evaluates the fate of the organization's revolutionary goals over its subsequent quarter-century in power, assessing the strengths and weaknesses the party has bequeathed to the country. Laying the Past to Rest is a comprehensive and balanced analysis of the genesis, successes and failings of the EPRDF's state-building project in contemporary Ethiopia, from a uniquely authoritative observer.

This is the story of Beyene Solomon, who started and led a labor movement in Ethiopia encompassing several hundred thousand workers. It was the first democratic institution organized in Ethiopia and became an important part of African labor and social movement in the 1960-70s. However, when Emperor Haile Selassie was overthrown in 1974, Mr. Solomon was imprisoned. Surviving seven years of prison, he later worked for the ILO before he was forced out of Ethiopia in 1998. Beyene's memoir is the story of a brave and determined self-made man fighting and suffering for a democratic cause. And it is the sad story of the struggles of a proud African nation which is still in the throes of finding itself. Furthermore, it describes the diaspora of hundreds of thousands of Ethiopians and Eritreans, many who ended up as political refugees in the United States. His memoir is of historic significance. From Eritrea, Beyene Solomon left his farm to work in factories in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. Rebelling against management injustices, he helped form an Ethiopian labor movement. As President of the Confederation of Ethiopian Labor Unions (CELU), Beyene organized Ethiopian and Eritrean industrial workers and effectively fought for workers rights against government and management. He was instrumental in obtaining assistance from international labor groups and was active in African labor organizations. Until 1974 when the military overthrew the Emperor, CELU was part of an important democratization process in Ethiopia. While other prominent Ethiopians were murdered, Beyene Solomon miraculously survived, perhaps because of his local and international following. Until 1998 he had lived in Ethiopia for 52 years. Residing in Silver Spring, MD since 1999 with his children, he is now a US citizen.
