Contemporary Ethiopia
By GÉRARD PRUNIER (direction)
Paris, Karthala, on 2007, 440 p.
Between the splendour of liturgy and of Ethiopian art on the one hand and miserabilist picture of a country dying of hunger, contemporary Ethiopia is a country contradictory and difficult to grab. The only country to have been colonized never (Italian occupation lasted there hardly more than that of France by Germany at the same time), Ethiopia shelters however the seat of the Africain Union which was born in the wake of decolonization. Halfway studies of specialists and halfway jobs of popularisation, the present work tries to give a complete panorama of contemporary Ethiopia.
