Rezensionen
"Patrick Despalt and Terje Østebø's Muslim Ethiopia: The Christian Legacy, Identity Politics and Islamic Reformism can be regarded as book that indicates the necessity of including Islam and Muslims in Ethiopian studies, particularly in the contemporary period. ... The book is particularly significant as it contain chapters that are written by young Ethiopian scholars. ... These fine scholars have broken down this age-old boundary by objectively writing about Islam and Muslims while being from another faith." (Samson A. Bezabeh, Contemporary Islam, Vol. 10, 2016)
