À partir de l’étude des sources européennes et des traditions orales ‘afar, cet ouvrage propose une synthèse impressionnante et unique en son genre sur l’histoire politique du territoire d’Awsa pris en étau entre les implantations des puissances européennes sur les côtes de la mer Rouge et la construction de l’État moderne d’Éthiopie. À travers cette histoire très complexe faite d’alliances, de rivalités, de renversements, de conflits et d’arrangements, on observe la façon dont les ‘Afar et leurs dirigeants ont été des acteurs déterminants de l’évolution politique et économique de l’Éthiopie telle qu’on la connaît aujourd’hui. C’est ce que révèlent les paroles du sultan ‘Ali-Miraḥ qui constituent la deuxième partie de l’ouvrage. L’auteur a accompli le tour de force de recueillir une série d’entretiens à travers lesquels le sultan se souvient de sa longue existence, des personnalités historiques qu’il a côtoyées, des positions qu’il a dû prendre pour son peuple, pour protéger son autonomie, pour tenter de lui apporter un développement économique partagé avec les autres Éthiopiens. La disparition du sultan ‘Ali-Miraḥ en avril 2011 a suscité l’expression de nombreux témoignages sur l’intelligence politique du sultan et le rôle de conciliateur qu’il a joué pour préserver l’unité de la nation éthiopienne tout en reconnaissant la diversité et l’autonomie des peuples qui la compose. Ces témoignages viennent aussi bien d’anciens dignitaires du régime impérial, que de ceux qui l’ont combattu du côté érythréen ou du côté de nationalités éthiopiennes. Parmi les témoignages inédits qui sont ici publiés, soulignons l’intérêt tout particulier que revêt le long entretien de Ḥanfaré ‘Ali-Miraḥ, recueilli avant qu’il ne soit désigné comme le successeur de son père à la charge de sultan, pour laquelle il sera investi en novembre 2010. Cet entretien, portant sur l’époque impériale, montre le rôle essentiel qu’il a joué au côté de son père notamment au sein des divers groupes…

The political transition in 1991 and the new regime’s policy towards the ethnic and religious diversity in Ethiopia have contributed to increased activities from various Islamic reform movements. Among these, we find the Salafi movement which expanded rapidly throughout the 1990's, particularly in the Oromo-speaking south-eastern parts of the country. This book sheds light on the emergence and expansion of Salafism in Bale. Focusing on the diversified body of situated actors and their role in the process of religious change, it discusses the early arrival of Salafism in the late 1960's, follows it through the Marxist period (1974-1991) before discussing the rapid expansion of the movement in the 1990's. The movement’s dynamics and the controversies emerging as a result of the reforms are discussed, particularly with reference to different understandings of sources for religious knowledge and the role of Islamic literacy.

How do people whose entire way of life has been destroyed and who witnessed horrible abuses against loved ones construct a new future? How do people who have survived the ravages of war and displacement rebuild their lives in a new country when their world has totally changed? In Making Refuge Catherine Besteman follows the trajectory of Somali Bantus from their homes in Somalia before the onset in 1991 of Somalia’s civil war, to their displacement to Kenyan refugee camps, to their relocation in cities across the United States, to their settlement in the struggling former mill town of Lewiston, Maine. Tracking their experiences as "secondary migrants" who grapple with the struggles of xenophobia, neoliberalism, and grief, Besteman asks what humanitarianism feels like to those who are its objects and what happens when refugees move in next door. As Lewiston's refugees and locals negotiate co-residence and find that assimilation goes both ways, their story demonstrates the efforts of diverse people to find ways to live together and create community. Besteman’s account illuminates the contemporary debates about economic and moral responsibility, security, and community that immigration provokes.
