5.0 out of 5 stars a rare perspective
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024
The invention of Ethiopia offers a rare perspective from those oppressed and colonized within Ethiopia's complex history as both a colonized land and eventual colonial power. By examining the marginalization of ethnic groups and peripheries within historic Abyssinia as it expanded into present-day Ethiopia, the book unveils often-overlooked dynamics of internal colonialism and center-periphery relations. This complex interplay between external colonization by Italy and Ethiopia's own acts of internal conquest and assimilation have been left out of many historical accounts. Ultimately, Invention of Ethiopia seeks to center voices of those groups who endured marginalization and violence amidst the forces of European imperialism and Ethiopian nation building.

1.0 out of 5 stars Decontextualized, selective pseudo-history in service of a narrow-minded agenda.
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021
Decontextualized, selective pseudo-history in service of a narrow-minded agenda. Throughout this meandering, repetitive screed, the authors make all sorts of assertions about what "really happened" with little in the way of convincing evidence. The book is also full of grammatical and other typographical errors. For a book that actually addresses (far more informatively, it goes without saying) what at which the authors of this one merely merely grasp, I can recommend "The Other Abyssinians: The Northern Oromo and the Creation of Modern Ethiopia, 1855-1913" by Brian Yates.
