Download or read book Subversive Action written by Nilan Yu and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subversive Action presents cases that explore the use of extralegal action undertaken in pursuit of human rights and social justice, and locate that action with reference to the boundaries of social work. Definitions of social work often include goals of social change, social justice, empowerment, and the liberation of people, but social work texts make little mention of extralegal actions. Mainstream conceptions of social work usually consider it to fall within the framework of particular legal and societal contexts. As such, it is presented with boundaries for legitimate action even as it espouses principles that may require it to challenge these boundaries. How does one do social work in legal and societal contexts that challenge these principles with institutional and state-mandated exclusion and discrimination? Should social workers simply act within the bounds of the law in line with their professional sanction and mandate? Do their actions qualify as social work if they are beyond the limits of the law? The essays in this volume, by authors from around the world, raise these questions by providing a basis for reflection about the claims we make in social work embodied in discourses on social justice and human rights.

Book Synopsis Call Me by My Name by : Wolde Tewolde
Download or read book Call Me by My Name written by Wolde Tewolde and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about revolutionary ideas and concepts collected over the years and are geared toward political capital. As our world gets more complex by Amazon’s shared economy and the empowerment of LGBT communities, issues of female and male are dominant. My idea is that an Ethiopian female and an Eritrean male will read these articles, discuss the issues raised, and reach at solutions. I am hoping that readers will arrive at their common values and live a better future. My articles are based on intellectual wisdom derived from Ethiopian philosophy and Western psychology.

Book Synopsis Revolution and Genocide in Ethiopia and Cambodia by : Edward Kissi
Download or read book Revolution and Genocide in Ethiopia and Cambodia written by Edward Kissi and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2006-03-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolution and Genocide in Ethiopia and Cambodia is the first comparative study of the Ethiopian and Cambodian revolutions of the early 1970s. One of the few comparative studies of genocide in the developing world, this book presents some of the key arguments in traditional genocide scholarship, but the book's author, Edward Kissi, takes a different position, arguing that the Cambodian genocide and the atrocious crimes in Ethiopia had very different motives. Kissi's findings reveal that genocide was a tactic specifically chosen by Cambodia's Khmer Rouge to intentionally and systematically annihilate certain ethnic and religious groups, whereas Ethiopia's Dergue resorted to terror and political killing in the effort to retain power. Revolution and Genocide in Ethiopia and Cambodia demonstrates that the extent to which revolutionary states turn to policies of genocide depends greatly on how they acquire their power and what domestic and international opposition they face. This is an important and intriguing book for students of African and Asian history and those interested in the study of genocide.

Book Synopsis A Postcolonial Political Theology of Care and Praxis in Ethiopia's Era of Identity Politics by : Rode Molla
Download or read book A Postcolonial Political Theology of Care and Praxis in Ethiopia's Era of Identity Politics written by Rode Molla and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author argues that identity politics eliminates Ethiopians' in-between spaces and identities and defines in-between spaces as political, social, religious, and geographical spaces that enable Ethiopians to co-exist with equity, solidarity, and justice. The elimination of in-between spaces and in-between identities creates either-or class, religious, ethnic, and gender categories. Therefore, the author proposes an in-between theology that invites Ethiopians to a new hybrid way of being to resist fragmented and hegemonic identities. The author claims that postcolonial discourse and praxis of in-between pastoral care disrupts and interrogates hegemonic definitions of culture, home, subjectivity, and identity. On the other hand, in-between pastoral care uses embodiment, belonging, subjectivity, and hybridity as features of care and praxis to create intercultural and intersubjective identities that can co-construct and co-create in-between spaces. In the in-between spaces, Ethiopians can relate with the Other with intercultural competencies to live their difference, similarity, hybridity, and complexity.
Book Synopsis The Quest for Socialist Utopia by : Bahru Zewde
Download or read book The Quest for Socialist Utopia written by Bahru Zewde and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2014 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the 1960s and the early 1970s, the Ethiopian student movement emerged from rather innocuous beginnings to become the major opposition force against the imperial regime in Ethiopia, contributing perhaps more than any other factor to the eruption of the 1974 revolution, a revolution that brought about not only the end of the long reign of Emperor Haile Sellassie, but also a dynasty of exceptional longevity. The student movement would be of fundamental importance in the shaping of the future Ethiopia, instrumental in both its political and social development. Bahru Zewde, himself one of the students involved in the uprising, draws on interviews with former student leaders and activists, as well as documentary sources, to describe the steady radicalisation of the movement, characterised particularly after 1965 by annual demonstrations against the regime and culminating in the ascendancy of Marxism-Leninism by the early 1970s. Almost in tandem with the global student movement, the year 1969 marked the climax of student opposition to the imperial regime, both at home and abroad. It was also in that year that students broached what came to be famously known as the "national question", ultimately resulting in the adoption in 1971of the Leninist/Stalinist principle of self-determination up to and including secession. On the eve of the revolution, the student movement abroad split into two rival factions; a split that was ultimately to lead to the liquidation of both and the consolidation of military dictatorship as well as the emergence of the ethno-nationalist agenda as the only viable alternative to the military regime. Bahru Zewde is Emeritus Professor of History at Addis Ababa University and Vice President of the Ethiopian Academy of Sciences. He has authored many books and articles, notably A History of Modern Ethiopia, 1855-1974 and Pioneers of Change in Ethiopia: The Reformist Intellectuals of the Early Twentieth Century. Finalist for the Bethwell A. Ogot Book Prize to the author of the best book on East African Studies, 2015. Ethiopia: Addis Ababa University Press (paperback)

Book Synopsis Mnemonic Solidarity by : Jie-Hyun Lim
Download or read book Mnemonic Solidarity written by Jie-Hyun Lim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides a concise introduction to a critical development in memory studies. A global memory formation has emerged since the 1990s, in which memories of traumatic histories in different parts of the world, often articulated in the terms established by Holocaust memory, have become entangled, reconciled, contested, conflicted and negotiated across borders. As historical actors and events across time and space become connected in new ways, new grounds for contest and competition arise; claims to the past that appeared de-territorialized in the global memory formation become re-territorialized – deployed in the service of nationalist projects. This poses challenges to scholarship but also to practice: How can we ensure that shared or comparable memories of past injustice continue to be grounds for solidarity between different memory communities? In chapters focusing on Europe, East Asia and Africa, five scholars respond to these challenges from a range of disciplinary perspectives in the humanities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Adwa, Tigray, Ethiopia—a semi-rural town with limited infrastructure but rich in history and culture—Assefa Wondim inherited his parents’ legacy and used it to mold his children. Zantai (My Life Story) describes, among others, his birthplace, ancestry, upbringing, and how he raised his children, including how he viewed education for his children, his goals for them, the style of his parental control, his commitment to meeting his children’s needs, and his involvement in his children’s lives and activities. Also, the opportunities and challenges he encountered in life are described in the book. This book may bring nostalgia to those whose upbringing was in Adwa—the history, geography, culture, and their school life in that beautiful town. It may also give the young generation an insight into what Adwa looked like in the 1950s through the early 1970s.

In A History of Modern Ethiopia, Bahru Zewde, one of Ethiopia’s leading historians, provides a compact and comprehensive history of his country, particularly the last two centuries. Of importance to historians, political scientists, journalists, and Africanists alike, Bahru’s A History of Modern Ethiopia, now with additional material taking it up to the last decade, will be the preeminent overview of present-day Ethiopia.
