摘要:As the challenges posed by Africa¡¯s various security problems increase, so too does the
need for Westerners to better understand the histories and cultures of Africa¡¯s modern
states. This is especially true of those countries on the frontlines of the fi ght against
Islamic terrorism. The paperback reprint of John Young¡¯s Peasant revolution in Ethiopia
(originally published in 1997) is, therefore, a necessary addition to the collections of
scholars, analysts and policymakers alike.
