The Struggling State
Palimpsestic Tales
The “history” of the women of Eritrea is a composite of images and narratives that presents them as symbols of the land viewed through the lenses of colonial writers, anticolonial activists, and postcolonial nationalists. These portrayals have tended to deflect a deeper understanding of their lived histories, distorting their actual experiences under colonial rule (1890-1941), during the decolonization period (1941-51), and the era of Ethiopian r…
Ethiopia
Markakis has produced a magisterial work that synthesizes a half-century's research into Ethiopia's state formation, assessing the achievements and successes of the ruling elites of the imperial, Afro-Marxist, and Federalist regimes. Going against the conventional stance, which assumes that the Ethiopian state long ago passed the threshold of state formation and has moved beyond consolidating control over its territory and citizens, Markakis argu…

Victor T. Le Vine
Victor T. Le Vine, professor emeritus of political science, analyst, and commentator, died on May 7, 2010, after a brief illness. Le Vine, an only son, was born in Berlin in 1928. His family fled Nazi Germany and lived in France until they immigrated to the United States in 1938. A polyglot, fluent in French, German, and Russian, he was a rigorous researcher, a dedicated teacher, and an encyclopedic repository of classical works in politics, hist…

A History of Tigrinya Literature in Eritrea
The Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict
This article examines the new norms in bilateral, regional and international relations that evolved in the wake of the emergence of the Eritrean state which had successfully challenged the hegemonic claims of both the imperial and Afro-Marxist Ethiopian state. The analysis proceeds from a retelling of the events in 1998 which precipitated the break between the Ethiopian and Eritrean partners of the old alliance against the Mengistu regime, then e…
Ethiopia
The Eritrean Struggle for Independence
The Eritrean Experiment
This is an attempt to assess Eritrea's democratic prospects in light of its political experience since 1993 as a sovereign state. I readily concede that it is too early to make a definitive assessment; yet, just as a child's first few years are extraordinarily critical in helping to determine its subsequent intellectual, physical, and moral development, so can a new nation cumulate experiences that help set it firmly on its feet and give it the c…
The Eritrean struggle for independence
Eritrea, the newest nation-state in Africa, gained independence from the Ethiopian state after a prolonged and bitter conflict. Ruth Iyob provides the first comprehensive analysis of the country's political history over the past three decades. She explains the origins of Eritrean nationalism, and charts the development of its various nationalist movements, assessing the programmes and capabilities of the parties contending for power. She also ana…

The Somali Crisis
No abstract
Regional Hegemony
Contested territories and challenges to state sovereignty have become almost the norm in post-colonial Africa. The nexus of many of these conflicts resides in a status quo which gives primacy to territorial integrity over the right of peoples to self-determination. The comparative advantage thus accorded to sovereign states has resulted in a disequilibrium that legitimated the violation of both regionally and internationally sanctioned rules ensh…
