Ethiopia's political independence at the end of the nineteenth century put this new African state in a position to determine its own levels of engagement with the West. Ethiopians went to study in universities around the world. They returned with the skills of their education acquired in Europe and America, and at home began to lay the foundations of a new literature and political philosophy. \u003ci\u003ePioneers of Change in Ethiopia\u003c\/i\u003e describes the role of these men and women of ideas in the social and political transformation of the young nation and later in the administration of Haile Selassie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBahru Zewde\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in history at Addis Ababa University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130364301447,"sku":"9780821414460","price":62.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/2be862359d713784db6fe59bb72f3dc7.webp?v=1732610195","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/pioneers-of-change-in-ethiopia-the-reformist-intellectuals-of-the-early-twentieth-century-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
