Provides the gist of one scholar`s knowledge of this country acquired over several decades. The author of numerous works on Ethiopia, Markakis presents here an overarching, concise historical profile of a momentous effort to integrate a multicultural empire into a modern nation state. The concept of nation state formation provides the analytical framework within which this process unfolds & the changes of direction it takes under different regimes, as well as a standard for assessing its progress & shortcomings at each stage. Over a century old, the process is still far from completion & its ultimate success is far from certain. In the author`s view, there are two major obstacles that need to be overcome, two frontiers that need to be crossed to reach the desired goal. The first is the monopoly of power inherited from the empire builders & zealously guarded ever since by a ruling class of Abyssinian origin. The descendants of the people subjugated by the empire builders remain excluded from power, a handicap that breeds political instability & violent conflict. The second frontier is the arid lowlands on the margins of the state, where the process of integration has not yet reached, & where resistance to it is greatest. Until this frontier is crossed, the Ethiopian state will not have the secure borders that a mature nation state requires. John Markakis is a political historian who has devoted a professional lifetime to the study of Ethiopia & its neighbours in the Horn of Africa. He has published several books & many articles on this area. ...

Eton And Eton Wick 1899

Eton and Eton Wick in 1899 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family.

In the south-west corner is Windsor Race Course with its grandstand. In the town Barnespool Bridge and part of the High Street are shown, also
Folly Bridge, cemetery, St John`s church, gas works, Science School. On the reverse is over half of adjacent sheet 56.06 covering the eastern part of the College, Fifteen Arch Bridge, Beggar`s Bridge, Eton College Laundry. To the north-east is the hamlet of Mirk and the southern fringe of Slough, including Upton Court and St Lawrence`s church. In the south is part of the Public Recreation Ground, with the LSWR Windsor line looping through across the Thames. Together with maps covering Windsor and Slough this title forms a block of four maps.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series:Selected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century.

from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories.
