Oromo Democracy
Author: Asmarom Legesse
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
"This book reveals the many creative solutions an African society found for problems that people encounter when they try to establish a democratic system of governing their affairs. In much of what has been written about Africa ... Little is ever shown of indigenous African democratic systems, under which there is distribution of authority and responsibility across various strata of society, and where warriors are subordinated to deliberative assemblies, customary laws are revised periodically by a national convention, and elected leaders are limited to a single eight-year terms of office and subjected to public review in the middle of their term. All these ideals and more are enshrined in the five-century old constitution of the Oromo of Ethiopia, which is the subject matter of this book. In this book, Legesse brings into sharp focus the polycephalous or "multi-headed" system of government of the Oromo, which is based on clearly defined division of labor and checks and balances between different institutions. Revealing the inherent dynamism and sophistication of this indigenous African political system, Legasse also shows in clear and lucid language that the system has had a long and distinguished history, during which the institutions changed by deliberate legislation, and evolved and adapted with time."--Amazon.com.

The Guji-Oromo Women Places in Polio-Economic and Socio-Cultural Spheres. In Reference to the Gadaa System, South Ethiopia
Author: Mengesha Robso

ISBN: 9783346347046
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, course: Gender Equality, language: English, abstract: This study has been conducted on Guji Oromo peoples of Oromia Regional State, Addis Ababa and in south Ethiopia. It is true that many of the Ethiopian peoples culture and women history and the roles of society on women issues were not deeply studied and recorded in the history of the country. Among such peoples, Guji is the one which its peoples and gada system history had not yet been touched. Therefore, interest in this topic is originated from my intention to connect the Guji peoples', women's rigjts snd figure women's history and the roles of gada system and its unreserved works of promoting women rights through Siqqee system and other related activities in the study area are also briefly discussed and elaborated in an illustrative manner. Generally, the Guji Oromo women's' socio-cultural, politico-economical rights, status and positions in their traditional Gada system and women's difficulties in times of East Guji periodical drought is also discussed. I hope this important theme will serve as a guide for further researchs and investigations, and even to whom a person needs to know about the Guji people and women's rights, position, status and power in their community and their traditional Gäda system treatments towards them.

Of particular interest is his account of Haile Sellassie's disenchantment with the U.S.'?Publisher's Weekly?After the hard fate which befell the Emperor and his notables, Spencer is maybe the only one of the old regime's key persons still alive. There is hardly a single page one would want to miss.'?Sture Linner in Svenska Dagbladet?I found Ethiopia at Bay intensely interesting, sad and even tragic in the Greek mode. What a series of missed opportunities, anachronistic colonial arrogances, and western shortsightedness! The book would be enormously instructive to students of international relations generally.'?Lincoln Gordon, former President, Johns Hopkins University?Valuable indeed, Especially significant is Spencer's cogent analysis of the Emperor himself. Recommended for college, university, and larger public libraries.'?Choice.
