Greater Tigray and the Mysterious Magnetism of Ethiopia
‘Medri Bahri’: Defying Emperors, Saving Ethiopia
The rise of Islam in Arabia turned the Red Sea into a wall rather than a bridge, and the political centre of Ethiopian history moved to the south. The Solomonian dynasty of Amharic speakers (as of 1270) revived the empire, and allowed some local autonomy to Tigrayans in “the land of the sea” medri bahri, in the area of today’s Eritrea. The whole Christian empire faced in the 16th century two existential threats. First, Ahmad Gragn from Harar unit…

Youth and Revolution in the Changing Middle East, 1908–2014
Though there is much discussion of the role of youth in recent upheavals in the Middle East, there are few serious analyses of just what that role has been. Haggai Erlich sheds important light on this topic, focusing on the activism of educated young people in creating revolutionary change and the part played by higher education in shaping new generations of youth. Moving from the nineteenth century to the present, Erlich considers why and how th…
Arab Responses to Fascism and Nazism: Attraction and Repulsion
The first book to present an analysis of Arab response to fascism and Nazism from the perspectives of both individual countries and the Arab world at large, this collection problematizes and ultimately deconstructs the established narratives that assume most Arabs supported fascism and Nazism leading up to and during World War II. Using new source materials taken largely from Arab memoirs, archives, and print media, the articles reexamine Egyptia…

Al-Ahbash and Wahhabiyya: Interpretations of Islam
Islam is a universal religion and culture. Scholars who tend to focus on Islam in specific societies may overlook connections that, over the centuries, were important in shaping various Islamic intercultural dialogs. One case in point is the role of Ethiopia in the history of Islam. Although situated next door to the cradle of Islam, Ethiopia conveniently has been perceived by many Western historians of the Arab Middle East as an African “Christi…

These included a bitter dispute over the Nile waters (some four-fifths of the water reaching Egypt originates in Ethiopia 1 ), the …

Ras Alula played a significant role in the political history of northern Ethiopia during the period between the Egyptian invasion in 1875 and the Italian defeat at Adwa in 1896. Alula became well-known in Ethiopia and Europe for his role in shaping his country's relations with its African neighbours and with European powers. But his role in the internal history of Ethiopia was no less significant. This son of a peasant managed to avoid the restri…

A Contemporary Biography of Ras Alula: A Ge'ez Manuscript from Mänäwē, Tämbēn-I
European contemporaries regarded Ras Alula, Emperor Yohannes's general, as one of the most prominent leaders of Ethiopia in the crucial period of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This was a period in which the country was struggling to remain independent during the 'scramble for Africa'. The Ras was referred to as 'the best native general and strategist that Africa has perhaps produced in modern times', and 'undoubtedly' the 'greatest …
