Through ethnographic and archival research on the Gurage in Ethiopia, this book reframes entrepreneurialism as an identity-making process.
Analyzing competing entrepreneurial narratives and perspectives, this book uncovers how and why the once-underclass Gurage subsistence agriculturalists and serfs emerged as the national capitalist class of Ethiopia, replacing expatriate businesspeople. As Worku Nida shows, the historical narratives portray Gurage entrepreneurialism as a liberatory process through which the Gurage liberated themselves from serfdom and poverty and took over Ethiopia's commercial sector, playing leading roles in the making of Ethiopia's modern economy.
