Description

Product filter button Description Contents Resources Courses About the Authors

In the wake of the overthrow of the Haile-Selassie regime in Ethiopia in 1974 and the coming to power of the military, a number of opposition forces launched insurrections. But only one movement, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) triumphed, liberating Tigray in 1989, and in an ethnic-based coalition which it dominated, assuming state power in 1991. This is the first chronicle of the history of that struggle, and it is based largely on interviews with peasants who formed the core of the Tigrayan revolution and the TPLF leadership. It provides the necessary background to understanding post-1991 political developments in Ethiopia. It also offers an explanation of peasant-based revolution that contrasts with contemporary approaches by Marxists, Skocpol, and in particular the works of Wolf, Paige and Scott, all of whom largely ignore the political considerations and the role of the revolutionary party, which Dr Young identifies as a critical element in his study.
- As the first history of the 16-year peasant revolution that brought the present Ethiopian government to power in 1991, it fills a massive gap
- Offers a strong critique of the literature on revolution that should be of wide interest to political scientists
- Draws on a substantial level of original fieldwork material, including interviews with key figures, which is unlikely to be bettered
