Ethiopia A Country Study is a comprehensive book that provides an in-depth analysis of the history, culture, politics, economy, and society of Ethiopia. The book is authored by Thomas P. Ofcansky, an expert on Ethiopian affairs, and is part of the Country Studies series published by the Library of Congress. The book begins with an overview of Ethiopia's geography, demography, and history, including its ancient civilizations, the rise of Christianity, and the country's struggles against European colonialism. The next section delves into Ethiopia's political system, including its transition from a monarchy to a socialist state, and the current federal system. The book also covers Ethiopia's economy, including its agriculture, industry, and trade, and the challenges it faces in terms of poverty and development. The country's society and culture are explored, including its diverse ethnic groups, languages, and religions, as well as its music, art, and literature. The book concludes with a look at Ethiopia's foreign relations, including its role in regional and international organizations, and its relations with neighboring countries and global powers. The book is accompanied by maps, photographs, and statistical tables, making it a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in learning about Ethiopia.After assuming power in 1974, the military regime embarked on a program to improve the condition of peasants, but famine and hunger continued despite this effort, which was supplemented by substantial foreign assistance. Moreover, the escalation of the military campaign against the insurgent movements in Eritrea, Tigray, and the Ogaden forced thousands of Ethiopians to flee into neighboring countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
