"Drawing on over a decade of work with refugee and immigrant groups in Canada, Atsuko Matsuoka and John Sorenson provide an analysis of the historical context that has created diaspora movements from the Horn of Africa. They examine contested understandings of Eritrea's thirty-year nationalist struggle, Ethiopian reactions to independence, and ongoing efforts to forge a distinct Oromo identity. The authors also discuss the role of long-distance nationalists in the 1998-2000 Eritrean-Ethiopian war." "This study traces the spectral commitments to conflicting narratives of history and identity that affect settlement experiences of Eritrean, Ethiopian, and Oromo communities in Canada, and shows how the commitments of these exile groups still play important roles in nationalist struggles in their original homelands. Applying the concepts of 'ghosts and shadows' to question the supposed certainties of culture, history, memory, nation, gender, and 'race, ' Matsuoka and Sorenson explore the conflicting creation of de-territorialized identities against the presumption of deep-rooted cultural continuities." "A significant contribution to historical and globalized dimensions of nationalism, this work poses important challenges to dominant interpretations of transnational movements by focusing on the involvement of refugees and immigrants in nationalist struggles for distant homelands. By capturing these 'ghostly' and 'shadowy' aspects of lived experience, the book provides essential reading in the fields of anthropology, sociology, social work, and political studies."--Jacket. 606 $aEthiopians$zCanada$xEthnic identity 606 $aEthiopians$zCanada$xSocial conditions 606 $aAfrican diaspora 607 $aCanada$xEthnic relations 608 $aLivres numeriques. 608 $ae-books. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthiopians$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aEthiopians$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAfrican diaspora. 676 $a305.892/8071 700 $aMatsuoka$b Atsuko, $01678309 701 $aSorenson$b John$f1952-$01654523 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820410103321 996 $aGhosts and Shadows$94045841 997 $aUNINA
