Periodization of Ethiopian History: Reflections, Questions, and some Modest Suggestions
Historians have for many decades struggled with issues of periodization. In comparison to many other regions, scholars of Ethiopian history, particularly after the Aksumite period, have written comparatively little on this subject. This article considers some of the weaknesses of periodizations based on dynastic change or periods of a strong central state. It also suggests that attention to gender, class, geography, and ethnicity may assist in fo…

Il y a infiniment plus de travailleurs de toutes sortes au dehors du monde incorporé qu'au dedans, à Paris comme en province. Mais la signification sociale, économique et politique du travail ' en jurande ' dépasse de loin le territoire réel qu'il recouvre. Le travail dit ' libre ', surtout dans les ville…
The Africanization of Missionary Christianity: History and Typology
Of the many issues confronting African Christians today, none would appear to have received more attention than the problem of defining the precise relationship between Christianity and African culture. The lively, sometimes heated, debate which has developed over this issue has produced in its wake a substantial body of literature on diverse aspects of a process variously labelled as Africanization, incarnation, contextualization, adaptation. As…
Ezana's Conversion Reconsidered
EZANA'S CONVERSION RECONSIDERED BY STEVEN KAPLAN (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) The past decade has been a momentous one for the study of African Christianity. The opposing figures of the missionary-hero and the missionary-imperialist have begun to vanish from the scholarly literature. The "metropolitan-ecclesiastical" and "na- tionalist" schools of mission history have, to a significant degree, given way to a number of more subtle and sophisti…
