It sheds light on the advent of the Ethiopian empire under Menelik II, its conquests and Arsi Oromo fierce resistance (1880-1900), the nature and legacy of Ethiopian imperial polity, centre-periphery relations, feudal political economy and its impacts on the newly conquered regions with a focus on Arsi Oromo country. The book also analyzes the root causes of the national political crisis including, but not limited to, the attempts at transforming the empire-state to a nation-state around a single culture, contested definition of national identity and state legitimacy, grievance narratives, uprisings, the birth and development of competing nationalisms as well as the limitations of the current ethnic federalism to address the national question in Ethiopia.African social studies series ;v. 32.Central-local government relationsEthiopiaSocial structureEthiopiaOromo (African people)Politics and governmentArsi (African people)History20th centuryArsi (African people)History19th centuryImperialismEthiopiaHistory1889-1974EthiopiaPolitics and government1889-1974EthiopiaEthnic relationsCentral-local government relationsSocial structureOromo (African people)Politics and government.Arsi (African people)HistoryArsi (African people)HistoryImperialism.963.05Gnamo Abbas H(Abbas Haji)1621476MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828474603321Conquest and resistance in the Ethiopian empire, 1880-19743954762UNINA
