An #African #Studies #Researcher's Quest for True #Ethiopian #History
Dawit #Muluneh, an African studies scholar, has found new purpose in his research at The Mecca as he contends with the history of #fascist #Italy’s hold on #Ethiopic #studies
What does 1930’s Italy have to do with Ethiopia’s civil war 40 years later? Everything, says researcher at Howard #University, Dawit Muluneh, M.A.
As an African Studies and Ethiopian research scholar, his work pulls focus to Ethiopia prior to European influence and asserts that the introduction of fascist Italy into Ethiopia in the ’30s was the root cause of the country’s civil war that took place from 1974 to 1991. In 2021, Muluneh published his #book “Hopeless Romantic: The Untold History of Ethiopia.”
Muluneh’s master’s research specifically centers on his own Ethiopian culture and history, formally known as Ethiopic studies, and telling the authentic history. His research contends that failed attempts to revitalize African nations is mainly “attributed to development models designed by westerners that do not consider cultural factors
