Produktbeschreibung

State-making and politics of alienating indigenous people connected to the Tulama Oromo dispossession from imperial conquest to contemporary Addis Ababa master plan in Ethiopia is a path-breaking book that raises highly sensitive issue (historical, political and economic questions) in Ethiopia and relatively under-researched topic in relation to indigenous people's land rights. This manuscript draws on insights from interdisciplinary subjects to map out the new contours of struggles for land framed in terms of territory, identity and belonging and people's spiritual and emotional attachment to an ancestral domain. This volume situates the current land grabs of the Integrated Master Plan in the broader context of state-making and indigenous peoples' struggle for land rights. In contrary to the state modernization derive of conceptualizing land as a mere factor of production (in economic terms) this book argues for a holistic understanding of land framed in terms of territory, identity, and belonging and people's spiritual and emotional attachment to an ancestral domain.
