Reviews

This is Asafa Jalata's most magnificent scholarly piece yet. Digging into Oromo cultural, political and social traditions and incorporating them with concepts and theories of global nationalism in a way no scholar has done before, Jalata has not only unearthed the genesis of modern Oromo nationalism and identity but also put the Oromo national struggle in a broader perspective. The book is a solid case study of the rise of nationalism among the Oromo, the largest national group south of the Equator, and it can be used as an ideal textbook in comparative nationalism courses.--Getahun Benti, Southern Illinois University Carbondale

The monograph is important for students of social movements and scholars and researchers on the Horn of Africa.--Dan Ayana, Youngstown State University
