Bøger om Etiopien

Wilbur Smiths to mest magtfulde familier mødes igen i denne længeventede selvstændige fortsættelse til bestselleren Solens sejr. Penrod Ballantyne og hans forlovede, Amber Benbrook, går gennem Cairos gader i 1888. De er lykkelige og opfyldt af drømme om deres fælles fremtid, men drømmene knuses, da en jaloux ekskæreste kommer imellem dem. Amber rejser til Abessinien sammen med sin tvillingesøster, Saffron, og hendes eventyrlystne mand, Ryder Courtney, på jagt efter lykken. De begiver sig ud på en farefuld færd til Addis Ababa, hvor de bydes velkommen af den magtfulde hersker Menelik II, Kongernes konge. Men Italien har planer for Abessinien, og der florerer rygter om en invasion. Tilbage i Cairo søger en knust Penrod trøst i byens opiumhuler. Han reddes af sin gamle ven, Lorenzo, som nu er i den italienske hær, og da Lorenzo tilbyder ham at slutte sig til den militære indsats, slår Penrod til. En storm er på vej, og Penrod og Amber befinder sig på hver deres side af invasionen - kan de nogensinde finde deres vej tilbage til hinanden mod alle disse odds?

Mødet med en tilsyneladende fremmed kultur og trospraksis i Etiopien sætter en refleksion i gang i teolog og forfatter Henrik Højlund. Er det muligt at tro med større overbevisning og mindre blufærdighed – er det muligt hér, i Danmark?Jeg tror, du er her er en personlig bog, der går tæt på tvivlen, troen og livet. Forfatteren skriver afvæbnende og med stor indsigt om den mulige konflikt mellem det vante og det fremmede, når han samtidig opmuntrer læseren – og sig selv – til at slippe blufærdigheden og vove troen.Henrik Højlund (f. 1960) er præst i Aarhus Bykirke og forhenværende sognepræst i Østjylland og København. Han har skrevet og bidraget til flere bøger om kristendom og eksistens, bl.a. Mærk Gud (2013), der fik mange læsere.

En del af Egypten-serien.Den dristige amatørarkæolog Nicholas befinder sig sammen med den kvindelige arkæolog Royan i Etiopien, hvor de leder febrilsk efter farao Mamoses grav. Til at hjælpe sig har de udskriften fra den syvende skriftrulle, som slaven Taita udformede 4000 år før i forbindelse med begravelsen. Men slaven Taita var en klog fyr - han ville ikke have, at gravrøvere skulle finde graven og opdage den hemmelighed, som han og hans elskede dronning Lostris af Egypten havde. Han har derfor gjort det vanskeligt at tyde skriftrullen. Nicholas og Royan jages samtidig af en konkurrerende arkæolog, der er helt uden skrubler og vil gøre alt for at komme først til Mamoses grav. Og han er ikke den eneste. En anglo-ægyptisk arkæolog, berøvet såvel sin mand som deres fælles forskningsresultater fra en udgravning i Etiopien, har også en opgave at fuldføre. Den syvende skriftrulle er en selvstændig fortsættelse til Flodguden. Alle bøger i Egypten-serien:- Flodguden- Den syvende skriftrulle- Magiens mester- Den 11. plage- Ørkenguden- Farao (udkommer på dansk i oktober 2017).

Da Giuseppe Martini - dansk født, men opvokset som adoptivbarn i den italienske koloni i Addis Abeba - hører om det italienske angreb på Abessinien, væmmes han ved sin plejefamilie og deres fascistiske anskuelser, og i stedet for at flygte sammen med dem, bliver han tilbage. Sammen med høvdingesønnen Kifele drager han i stedet afsted for at slutte sig til de abessinske styrker. Undervejs oplever han sult og sygdom og den italienske besættelsesmagts ugerninger mod den lokale befolkning, og til sidst opnår han et møde med ingen mindre end Etiopiens kejser Haile Selassie.Drenge under våben er skrevet og udkom første gang i 1936, samme år, som det fascistiske Italien besatte Abessinien (svarende til nutidens Etiopien og Eritrea) og er en skarp kommentar til begivenhederne dernede - et særsyn i datidens børne og ungdomslitteratur, der sjældent tog stilling til sin omverden.

»¿¿¿ bauhaus« (selam bauhaus) means »hello bauhaus« in Amharic, one of the most important languages in Ethiopia. Visually, one could also interpret the Amharic letters as "Why Bauhaus" to question the overuse of this label during the Bauhaus Centennial in 2019. So, why Bauhaus?100 years ago, the teaching of architecture and urban design at the Bauhaus responded to rapid changes in society and their impact on the built environment. The ambitions and methods of the historical Bauhaus can still inspire us in the present day: Today, facing global climate change and human migration, these themes are more pressing than ever. Through the Emerging City Lab Addis Ababa (ECL-AA), the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development (EiABC) at Addis Ababa University established a joint lab. Combining innovation and social responsibility through experiments with building materials, practices and planning technologies beyond cultural, social, and disciplinary boundaries, this publication shows educational and research projects that emerged from the collaboration. In 2019 they were presented in the exhibition »¿¿¿ bauhaus (selam bauhaus) - hello bauhaus« on the occasion of the centenary of the Bauhaus and the 65th anniversary of the EiABC.

A comprehensive historical, geographic, and thematic analysis of the multidimensional and dynamic migration experience of Ethiopians within and beyond Africa.

The original forests of the central and northern highlands of Ethiopia are almost entirely confined to the "sacred groves" surrounding the churches and monasteries of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church. In Ethiopian tradition sanctity starts from the Tabot on the altar of the church and extends to the outer periphery of the compound. Church forests serve as shade and shelter for the sacred, and are seen as integral parts of the churchyard.The Act of Gebre Menfes Qiddus (GGMQ) is an original Ethiopic hagiographic text. It depicts the life and struggle of the saint in the wilderness of forests and mountains. Hagiographic texts like GGMQ are in Ethiopia not mere historical records, but texts linked to the daily liturgical services that shape and mould the perceptions and actions of their readers and listeners. The aim of the thesis is to analyse how GGMQ presents the relation between the saint and the natural environment in order to see if there is a correlation with how the Ethiopian tradition has preserved the church forests and has considered these to be sacred spaces representing the wilderness. The aim is achieved through a close reading of the text and its intertexts using four selected themes as analytical instruments: ascetic estrangement, coexistence with non-human creation, identification with the angels and reconciliation of opposites. The analysis, and the fact that the GGMQ is one of the most venerated texts, read and heard with great liturgical solemnity, show that there are good reasons to believe that the constant reading of GGMQ has made and makes a significant impact upon the readers' views on the mutual co-habitation of human and non-human creation and the development of an awareness of the need to preserve the wilderness and non-human creation.

The words that accompany our experience of and thinking about death are rarely uplifting: grief, loss, mourning, and, of course, fear. Death and everything surrounding it can be terrifying. People fear death. People fear dying. People fear missing out. People fear the loss of others, too. The loss of a loved one is undoubtedly a source of fear for many. The fear and sorrow bound up in the term "death" make it a morbid subject. Often, the topic is avoided in conversation. Death is too melancholic. Death is too miserable. Death is too personal. Death can be personal, of course. The ways it affects oneself can be intimate and, by virtue of its closeness, it can be a thoroughly private matter. Death is personal when it is one's own death, perhaps one's contemplation of or attempt at suicide, or the death of someone known and/or loved. Death has a part to play in our past, our present, and (unavoidably) our future. Death is an omnipresent possibility. Hidden in the wings, death waits for its cue before the final curtain call. All of us await this death and it is the future of us all. The death described here is one that almost everyone will be familiar with: the end of a life. However, there is another death. A second death. An impersonal death. A depersonalised, dispossessed, ungraspable death - that death is the focus of this thesis.

En forfatter finder et gammelt pergament, der pirrer hans nysgerrighed. Indeholder det svaret på, hvor tempelridderne gemte deres skat?Under jagten på skatten bliver han ført gennem en verden, han ikke kender. Fra tempelriddernes endeligt til nutidens Etiopien.
I sin søgen efter svar på, hvad der faktisk skete med tempelridderne og deres skat, opstår spørgsmålet, om religion er et falsum.Rejsen bliver både historisk og personlig og ender, hvor han ikke forventer det.Lars Ørlund (1948) har gennem mere end tredive år arbejdet og boet i Asien, Afrika og Sydamerika.

Who are you, when you come from two places? Ennatu Domingo was adopted from Ethiopia at the age of seven and transplanted to Barcelona where she learned to flourish. But she never forgot her nomadic childhood in the mountains and meadows of Gondar, near the northern border with Eritrea. Having witnessed the hardships of Ethiopian rural women at an early age, she was inspired to study the patriarchal structures that underpinned her individual experiences, both in Europe and in contemporary Ethiopia. She has lived in Kenya, Belgium and the UK, and has traveled across five continents, but keeps returning to the country of her childhood, to re-construct a lost identity guided by the echo of her first language Amharic and the weight of a rich cultural heritage. Torn between forgetting and remembering, Ennatu explores the dilemma of international adoptees and migrant kids and their quest for belonging in a book destined to be a classic of its genre.

This volume calls attention to the worst massacre of Christians that has occurred on the African continent, a 1937 attack on the monastic village of Debre Libanos that has previously been hidden from public knowledge.

Thorough investigations in recent decades have brought to light a relatively large number of ancient manuscripts of the various books of the Old and New Testaments from different parts of Ethiopia. This has led to a renewed interest in up-to-date critical editions of all the books of the Ethiopic Bible. For the Book of Jeremiah, however, there has never been a critical edition. This collection of seven essays marks the beginning of a new endeavour to fill this gap.Stefan Weninger introduces the reader medias in res, providing a condensed overview of the history of Ethiopic Jeremiah scholarship. Martin Heide's essay is a sample edition of the Book of Jeremiah based on nearly sixty manuscripts. The data that became available through collation allow to classify the manuscripts and provide first insights into the textual history of the Jeremiah Cycle. Michael Knibb invites the reader to review his experience with the critical edition of the Book of Ezekiel. Furthermore, another essay by him deals with the very intriguing manuscript Leiden Or. 14.692, being probably the earliest Ethiopic manuscript of Ezekiel. Steve Delamarter and Garry Jost introduce the reader to the digital methodology of the Textual History of the Ethiopic Old Testament project, which they apply to a sample chapter of Jeremiah, coming to a similar conclusion - from a different perspective - as Martin Heide. Alessandro Bausi addresses important methodological questions, that is, the status of a reconstruction or whether critical editions of Ethiopic texts should be written in normalized orthography. Finally, Siegfried Kreuzer introduces the reader to an up-to-date view of the textual history of the Septuagint. This enables (and challenges) scholars dealing with textual criticism of Ethiopic Old Testament books to carefully consider the question of the Greek Vorlage.

This book evaluates the efficiency and growth of the  Ethiopian air transport sector through careful analysis.  It provides essential research input for air transport industry practitioners in planning and resource management as well as for academics of advanced efficiency analysis who need to work and study in airports and the airline industry.  The book analyzes the theoretical and practical implications of air transport growth determinants, airports' cost and production efficiency, including labor use efficiency by taking their respective determinant factors. The findings and policy implications of each research work provide important inputs for government policymakers and air transport planners to consider the causality of economic growth versus airlines growth and other determinants, to take lessons on the proper resource allocation in the application of airport cost and production efficiency,  human capital, investment cost, price of capital, and labor inputs during the development and expansion of airports and airlines.  This book is the first of its kind on the  Ethiopian air transport industry and serves as a much-needed reference for the African air transport industry as well as other developing countries in terms of airport costs, production, labor use efficiency and airline growth perspectives.  

The author resists identity politics through a postcolonial political pastoral care and praxis that decolonizes biopolitical governmentalities, reframes hegemonic and fragmented identities, and restores the in-between spaces and in-between subjectivities of Ethiopians.

Particularly in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack, the threat of terrorism, however, defined, has been invoked as a common 'justification' in the pursuit of remodelling policies, laws, and institutions, both at the international and in the domestic politico-legal showground. The broader central theme that this book explores is the normative vibe under which the present-day counterterrorism discourse is construed and sculpted in the legislative and institutional structures of an authoritarian state where the political power and government institutions are functioning under a single-party-monopolised system. Presenting the Ethiopian legislative and institutional frameworks as a case study, the book critically reflects on the extent that the international legal and/or institutional counterterrorism response is sensitised in a manner lessening the risk of conflating authoritarian regime's unbearable reactions to citizens' legitimate demands and resistances against its repression vis-àvis that of its response to the common threat of international terrorism. In particular, the book ponders whether or not the range of the substantive and procedural aspects of the Ethiopian antiterrorism legislative and institutional frameworks are wrought to fit into the main objectives and standards that emanate from the pertinent international laws relating to terrorism and the international human rights law as well as the domestic constitutional law maxims.

Negli anni fra il 1907 e il 1910 Arnaldo Cipolla è impegnato in una serie di corrispondenze dall’Africa per il Corriere della Sera. Dopo aver visitato il Somaliland inglese, il grande esploratore affronta ben due traversate dell’Etiopia, confluite poi nel libro "Nell’impero di Menelik" (1911), ristampato vari anni dopo nella versione che si può apprezzare nel presente "Pagine africane di un esploratore". Con l’occhio attento di un viaggiatore esperto, nonché di un giornalista sempre conscio degli interessi centrifughi che governano le politiche coloniali, Cipolla offre ai suoi lettori un resoconto appassionante della crisi politica apertasi nell’Impero etiope ai tempi del negus Menelik II (1844-1913). Una lettura estremamente interessante e lucida – nonostante sia trascorso più di un secolo – che aiuta a capire meglio anche quanto sarebbe accaduto ai tempi dell’infame campagna d’Etiopia di Mussolini (1935-1936).Arnaldo Cipolla (1877-1938) nasce a Como, figlio di un garibaldino. Appassionatosi fin da giovanissimo ai viaggi, nel 1904 decide di arruolarsi volontario e partire per il Congo belga. Da questa esperienza trarrà il materiale per il primo reportage, consistente in una corrispondenza con la sua famiglia ("Dal Congo"). Da lì in poi, Cipolla viaggerà e scriverà ininterrottamente, collaborando a varie riviste e affrontando innumerevoli spedizioni dall’Africa al Medio Oriente, dalla Cina all’India e dall’Oceania alle Americhe. Autore instancabile, firma non solo molte importantissime corrispondenze, ma anche alcuni celebri romanzi a sfondo coloniale, come "Il cuore dei continenti" (1926), "Il re fanciullo" (1920) e, soprattutto, "Un’imperatrice d’Etiopia" (1921). Grazie alla sua sensibilità a dir poco anticipatrice, i suoi testi sono stati spesso ricordati in occasione di recenti conflitti – come, ad esempio, le Guerre del Golfo – in quanto latori di considerazioni che brillano ancora per la loro sconcertante attualità.

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, Haramaya University, language: English, abstract: This paper attempts to see the need for peace building and reconciliation in post-TPLF Ethiopia. It employed qualitative research approach. It draws heavily on secondary sources, including books, journals, researches and reports of various institutions. The facts collected are analyzed thematically, trans-active approach as alternative explanations. Ethiopia needs a peace-building rule to improve coordination and effectiveness of its interventions in promoting peace and human security. The constitution, sectoral policy pronouncements, international conventions and policy frameworks which the country has ratified, contain bits and pieces of policy pronouncements on peace-building.In most post-conflict situations, there are major divisions throughout impacted societies, manifested in ethnic, political, economic, social, and religious rifts. The consequent psycho-social impacts that invariably result from protracted civil divergences are often more harmful than the physical damage shaped by the conflicts itself. Conflict is pervasive in every society, so the term post-conflict in this instance indicates the period after a formal dictatorial party in coalition is fired out by long-term protest. The high-profile reconciliation initiatives with which we are familiar tend to be national-level, top-down approaches: truth commissions, legal processes and reform, national reparation programs, public apologies, etc. These initiatives can only take place once there is a recognized state-wide system of governance with sufficiently broad legitimacy that such initiatives can be carried out under its auspices. In conclusion for reconciliation activities to have any meaning, structural issues leading to conflict must also be addressed. There must be a harmonization of objectives between economic, political and psycho-social interventions. Peace building is increasingly institutionalized across the international landscape.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Zeitalter Weltkriege, Note: 1,7, Universität Trier, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit dem italienischen Überfall auf das Kaiserreich Abessinien begann einer der blutigsten und folgenreichsten Konflikte in der von Massengewalt erschütterten Epoche der Weltkriege. Dieser Konflikt unterscheidet sich in mehreren Aspekten von früheren Kolonialkriegen. Zum Ersten lag hierbei, von außen betrachtet, ein Konflikt zwischen zwei souveränen Staaten vor. Dies war insofern besonders, als das viele Ziele der europäischen Landnahme zum betreffenden Zeitpunkt nicht staatlich organisiert waren, Äthiopien aber schon. Auch in puncto Dauer und Heftigkeit der Kampfhandlungen durch die aufgebotenen Massenheere und den Einsatz von Massenvernichtungswaffen sowie den hohe Opferzahlen. In Anbetracht des Forschungsstandes kann gesagt werden, dass es einige Historiker gibt, die den Abessinienkrieg als Vernichtungskrieg oder Totalen Krieg ansehen, wie zum Beispiel Giulia Brogini Künzi, Aram Mattioli oder auch Asfa-Wossen Asserate. Eine entschiedene Gegenposition dazu stellt Nicola Labanca dar. Eine ausführliche Darstellung der betriebenen faschistischen Propaganda stellt dagegen Petra Toerhoeven vor. Der deutsche Militärhistoriker Stig Förster soll hingegen als Grundlage dieser Arbeit dienen, wenn es darum geht festzustellen, was einen Totalen Krieg ausmacht.In Anbetracht der erheblichen Unterschiede zu vorherigen Kolonialkriegen, soll diese Arbeit den Versuch darstellen, die Frage zu klären, ob beim Abessinienkrieg schon eine andere Form von Krieg vorlag, vielleicht sogar, beruhend auf dem Konzept von Stig Förster, ein Totaler Krieg. Außerdem soll geklärt werden, warum es zu einer solchen Entgleisung der Gewalt kommen konnte.
