Arrested Development in Ethiopia: Essays on Underdevelopment, Democracy, and Self-determinationSeyoum Y. Hameso, Mohammed Hassen Exploring the oppressive mechanism used by the Ethiopian state to suppress the creative talents of its subjects, these essays depict not only the lack of respect for basic human rights in Ethiopia but also the denial of the people's right to freely determine the governance of their choice and the pace of their socio-economic progress. The contributors passionately believe that the problems facing the Ethiopian people are neither inevitable nor insurmountable - instead they offer hope and solutions bound in an impassioned critique of current injustice. |
