In analysing the educational dynamics of the Wolaita region in Ethiopia, this book traces the history of the nation-state from the perspective of its margins, between 1941 and 1991. From Haile Selassie’s divine right monarchy to the Derg’s Marxist-Leninist military regime, it looks at the ways in which the inhabitants of a region incorporated at the end of the nineteenth century reacted to their dominated position within the national structure by negotiating with schooling—its successive ideologies, its knowledge, its languages of instruction, and its practices of power—in order to take their place in the national political community. By focusing on everyday feelings of belonging and ordinary nationalism as manifested in school dynamics, this book bears witness to the way in which nations are constructed and reshaped in the interaction and tensions between various social groups and the state. The ways in which the Ethiopian governments appropriated the North American and then Soviet schooling models offer a special insight into Ethiopia’s changing positions vis-à-vis the outside world in the context of the Cold War as well as the forms of translation at work right down to the local level. Featuring a wide range of actors—women and men, urban graduates and peasants, national and local civil servants, North American Peace Corps workers and East German advisers, Catholic and Protestant missionaries—this book will appeal to a much wider audience than Ethiopia specialists alone.

This book is the English translation of: Guidi, Pierre. 2020. Éduquer la nation en Éthiopie. École, État et identités dans le Wolaita (1941-1991). Rennes: Presses universitaires de Rennes; Montpellier: IRD Éditions. https://doi.org/10.4000/books.pur.159562 .

 

Nora, ville islamique de l’Éthiopie médiévale (fin du XIIIe-début du XVIe siècle) : les fouilles de 2008

Under the direction of François-Xavier Fauvelle and Romain Mensan

In open access HERE, or on sale at the CFEE

The Islamic site of Nora, in what is now the district of Ifat in Ethiopia, is located on a rocky spur halfway up the slope of the Rift escarpment. It was abandoned several centuries ago, and reveals the vestiges of an Islamic town that was inhabited from the end of the 13th century to the first third of the 16th. This book describes the results of an excavation carried out in Nora in 2008. It presents the information and interpretations gathered from excavations of a number of domestic residences, two of the five mosques found on the site (including the Great Mosque) and a tomb in a silo. The ceramic, glass and metal artefacts, and a sample of faunal remains are also described. As well as offering observations that make it possible to place the Islamic site of Nora in its particular geological and agrarian landscape, the book dedicates particular attention to geoarchaeological information regarding the settlement and formation of the site, a stratigraphic interpretation of the phases of settlement and abandonment and an architectural description of the buildings.

It is proposed that Nora be identified as the locality of Tobyā, which is one of the towns of the sultanate of Afwāt (in Arabic) or Ifāt (in Geez) mentioned in written sources. It is the first Islamic site to have been extensively excavated in Ethiopia.

Edited by François Xavier Fauvelle & Romain Mensan, with contributions by Laurent Bruxelles, Chloé Capel, Amélie Chekroun, Deresse Ayenachew Woldetsadik, Samir El Ouaamari, Habtewold Habtemikael, Bertrand Hirsch, Clément Ménard, Bertrand Poissonnier, Stéphane Pradines, Guillaume Saint-Sever, Abigail Chipps Stone, Helina Solomon Woldekiros and Hailu Zeleke Woldetsadik (†).
