You are here allRefer Reference Ethiopia History ... Ethiopia Ethiopia Historical Setting by John W. Turner (An African analyst with the Department of Defense) Ethiopian Orthodox cathedral at Aksum, built in seventeenth century. MODERN ETHIOPIA IS THE PRODUCT of many millennia of interaction among peoples in and around the Ethiopian highlands region. From the earliest times, these groups combined to produce a culture that at any given time differed markedly from that of surrounding peoples. The evolution of this early "Ethiopian" culture was driven by a variety of ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. One of the most significant influences on the formation and evolution of culture in northern Ethiopia consisted of migrants from Southwest Arabia. They arrived during the first millennium B.C. and brought Semitic speech, writing, and a distinctive stone-building tradition to northern Ethiopia. They seem to have contributed directly to the rise of the Aksumite kingdom, a trading state that prospered in the first centuries of the Christian era and that united the shores of the southern Red Sea commercially and at times politically. It was an Aksumite king who accepted Christianity in the mid-fourth century, a religion that the Aksumites bequeathed to their successors along with their concept of an empire-state under centralized rulership. The establishment of what became the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was critical in molding Ethiopian culture and identity. The spread of Islam to the coastal areas of the Horn of Africa in the eighth century, however, led to the isolation of the highlands from European and Middle Eastern centers of Christendom. The appearance of Islam was partly responsible for what became a long-term rivalry between Christians and Muslimsa rivalry that exacerbated older tensions between highlanders and lowlanders and agriculturalists and pastoralists that have persisted to the present day.

However, it soon became apparent that the books subtitle "A Cultural and Historical Guide" was somewhat misleading. Rather, Mr. Munro-Hay provides a detailed and scholarly analysis of Ethiopian historical sites. The publisher would have been well-advised to use the subtitle "An Archaeological Survey" instead. If that is what youre looking for, then this book is ideal. But if you want information on contemporary Ethiopian culture, it would be best to look elsewhere.

Home Albanian Arabic Brazilian ... West Indian The Language of Identity: Ethiopian Communities in New York City Maya René Smullyan-Jenkins and Ian Jackson Introduction Ethiopian immigrants in this city possess two distinctive qualities: one, the fact that there is no centralized Ethiopian community within the boroughs in the same way that there does exist a Chinatown or a Little Italy. Instead of there being such a locale, there does exist a mish-mash of disparate neighborhoods spread throughout New York: primarily, Flushing, Queens; Parkchester, Bronx; and Manhattan. The other distinguishable quality about Ethiopian settlement in NYC-as initially suggested by one Ms. Apufia Beko, a 49 year-old Parkchester resident-is that unlike many if not most immigrants to New York (particularly those from the East), Ethiopians enter this country with a basic English proficiency. Ultimately, these two factors of permeation and proficiency contribute to setting the stage for a wealth of diverse experience amongst Ethiopian immigrants in New York, which the following discussion will seek to illustrate.

Board of Directors The Murulle Foundation The Murulle Foundation CULTURE OF ETHIOPIA Articles: Injera: An Ethiopian Tradition The Karo Tribe Having never been colonized, Ethiopia has one of the world's longest independent traditions of civil society and is home to some of the oldest hominid fossils ever found. With more than 100 different ethnic groups speaking at least seventy different languages, Ethiopia's cultural diversity rivals that of its plants and animals. Injera: An Ethiopian Tradition Those who have had the fortune of visiting Ethiopia know that the traditional foods are as unique as the country itself. One commonality to most dishes is injera, a pancake-like sourdough bread made from teff. When served, injera is usually spread out over a large plate or table with meat or vegetable stews (wot) served on top. The injera acts as a plate where participants tear off pieces with their hands and use it to scoop up the main dishes. After the main courses are finished, remnants of the injera (soaked with the sauces) are the last to be eaten. The injera is sometimes rolled into small bundles and served on the side for convenience. Teff is a staple grain of east Africa, but most associated with Ethiopia. Its seed is much smaller than wheat and is a good source of calcium, fiber and protein. Today, teff can be found in many health food and international grocery stores. Following is the traditional recipe for injera: Ingredients

Introduction Summary We are introducing our students to the political, cultural, and historical world of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Since we value our personal experiences with the culture, it is essential in our presentation to introduce ourselves, our families, and our experience in our respective cultures. We believe that a brief overview of who we are and where we come from will make the students more comfortable with us, and at the same time they will get a much more personal experience with our Eritrean/Ethiopian presentation. Activity (7-10 minutes) We give out a word association sheets to the students. This activity enables us to see what the students do and do not know about the countries. It is beneficial to the students, because it spurs a discussion about the certain thoughts and ideas that they have about Africa. Hopefully by the end of the presentation, they will have a better idea of what society and people are like in Eritrea and Ethiopia. II. Solomonic Dynasty

70. Ethiopia Dispossession. Ethiopian culture seems to be a mixture of various AfroAsiatic groups, uniting the Christian, Semitic and Muslim worlds. http://ux1.eiu.edu/~cfrb/Ethiopia.htm

ETHIOPIAN SCROLLS: A Disembodied Aesthetic of Dispossession Some of the healing mechanisms of the Ethiopian scrolls are common to healing arts in many cultures: hypostasis The power of mimesis (imitation) can be applied to evil as well as to good, but in terms of evil images, there are two possible outcomes; the image of evil might render harm, but in contrast, the image of evil might repel an evil spirit. At the basis of Ethiopian religious beliefs is belief in the power of the word -names for newborns are submitted to clerics who determine if the name will bring fortune; like Muslims, Ethiopians believe that one's name fixes one's destiny. This belief derives from a story of ancient people, of each nation having a book which would reveal the secrets of heaven; the only group not to lose theirs was the Christians and so they are the only people who know how the universe works. [Remember that myths do not have to be true or consistent with some external logic in order to be believed; it is the belief in a myth which makes it a potent element in a culture and in the aesthetics of that culture.] Hypostasis, mimesis, and the power of the word are not unique to Ethiopian healing arts. What is most unique to the Ethiopian scrolls as a form of healing is the

It appears that the obelisk that Mussolini took with him from Ethiopia is finally returning home. The historical monument has been taken apart, and the parts are in storage at the Rome airport. They are waiting for an aeroplane that can bear the enormous weight. Transport by ship is not an option because Ethiopia does not have a port. The obelisk is an extremely important part of the Ethiopian cultural heritage. It is the most beautiful of some fifty obelisks that remain from the historical city of Axum. The city was the capitol of an empire two thousand years ago. The Italian leader Benito Mussolini ordered his troops to bring the monument to Rome after the invasion of Ethiopia. Although Italy signed treaties in 1947 and 1997 promising the immediate return of the structure, no action was ever taken. The Ethiopian people have already announced that the date of the obelisk's return will be an official holiday to be celebrated annually. Annemiek Leclaire Links for this article Return our obelisk!

Country Information on Ethiopia Terrain Ethiopia is one of the countries with the highest altitude in all of tropical Africa. 50% of the area are situated above 1200 m and further 25% above 1800 m. The interior of the country is dominated by the Ethiopian Highland, divided from northeast to southwest by the Ethiopian Rift, which constitutes part of the East African rift system and is characterized by young volcanoes and lack of any drains. The highest elevation is Ras Dashan with 4620 m. It is located in the north as is the case with Lake Tana, which has its source in the Blue Nile. The northeastern parts of the plateau are characterised by steep slopes which fall away by 1,220 m or more to reach the lowlands and the Danakil Desert. Along the western edge of the plateau the highlands slowly merge into Sudan's desert areas. Along the southern and southwestern edges, the plateau falls away to reach Lake Turkana (called Lake Rudolf in the past) in neighbouring Kenya. After Eritrea split off in 1993, Ethiopia does not have any direct access to the coast any more.
