A comprehensive historical, geographic, and thematic analysis of the multidimensional and dynamic migration experience of Ethiopians within and beyond Africa.
The Global Ethiopian Diaspora is a comprehensive scholarly work that offers a refreshingly critical analysis of the nature of modern Ethiopian migration and the making of the global Ethiopian diaspora. It explores its multiple origins, different and constantly evolving trajectories, and complex outcomes. A work of great range and depth, the book will be a useful resource for students, scholars, and professionals studying or interested in the subject of migration and diasporization.
A volume of compelling insight and analysis from within the global Ethiopian diaspora. Gulema, Girma, and Dinbabo bring together an outstanding group of diaspora scholars who provide compelling analyses and insights into the complexities and challenges of diaspora intellectual engagement. This impressive volume demonstrates the commitment of the Ethiopian academic diaspora to exploration of its own migration histories, identities, and transnational ties.
Ethiopia has produced one of contemporary history's most significant and widespread diasporas. This book is a powerful introduction to it. Through its diverse set of contributions-disciplinary, geographic, and thematic-it surfaces the multi-dimensions, tensions, and potentials of the Ethiopian diaspora. It is also a reference point for scholars of the African diaspora and, more importantly, of diasporas writ large. It will serve as an important resource for generations of scholars to come.
