About this book
Reviews
“Patrick Despalt and Terje Østebø’s Muslim Ethiopia: The Christian Legacy, Identity Politics and Islamic Reformism can be regarded as book that indicates the necessity of including Islam and Muslims in Ethiopian studies, particularly in the contemporary period. … The book is particularly significant as it contain chapters that are written by young Ethiopian scholars. … These fine scholars have broken down this age-old boundary by objectively writing about Islam and Muslims while being from another faith.” (Samson A. Bezabeh, Contemporary Islam, Vol. 10, 2016)
"Patrick Desplat and Terje Østebø's volume addresses a real gap in historical and contemporary research and writing on Ethiopia, namely, the multiple interfaces between different religious traditions in the country, most prominently Islam and Christianity. Due to its fresh approach to the field, this text can be regarded as a milestone in recent writing on Ethiopia." - Roman Loimeier, Professor, Institute for Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Göttingen, Germany
"Few subjects have been more important, and more neglected, in modern Ethiopia than the rapidly changing and growing role of Islam. This scrupulously researched book marks a critical breakthrough in scholarly analysis of the subject, and makes essential reading for understanding developments both in Ethiopia and in the Horn of Africa as a whole." - Christopher Clapham, Professor, Centre of African Studies, Cambridge University, UK
"Desplat and Østebø have produced a volume that is exceptionally timely and important. At a time when old understandings of Islam in Ethiopia are under question, this volume provides an excellent set of in-depth essays that take the conduct and local understandings of religious practice seriously. This book will be required reading for scholars seeking to understand contemporary Ethiopia." - Terrence Lyons, Associate Professor, School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, Co-Director, Center for Global Studies, George Mason University, USAAbout the authors
