Description

Survival and Modernization - Ethiopia's Enigmatic Present tackles the enigmatic question on Ethiopia's failure to modernize. The enigma springs from the absence in Ethiopia of the major deficiencies invoked to explain underdevelopment. By combining sociological and political analyses with philosophical inquiries, the book attempts to explain how Ethiopia was driven into a wrong track through various historical detours, delays, indecisions, and uprootedness.

First Sentence

Rare are those books on Ethiopia which do not open with a frank amazement at its varied and contrasted physical appearance.
