The Cross and the River
Author: Ḥagai Erlikh
Publisher: Lynne Rienner Publishers
ISBN: 9781555879709
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The ongoing Egyptian-Ethiopian dispute over the Nile waters is potentially one of the most difficult issues on the current international agenda, central to the very life of the two countries. Analyzing the context of the dispute across a span of more than a thousand years, The Cross and the River delves into the heart of both countries' identities and cultures. Erlich deftly weaves together three themes: the political relationship between successive Ethiopian and Egyptian regimes; the complex connection between the Christian churches in the two countries; and the influence of the Nile river system on Ethiopian and Egyptian definitions of national identity and mutual perceptions of the Other. Drawing on a vast range of sources, his study is key to an understanding of a bond built on both interdependence and conflict.

Ethiopian Crosses
Author: Stanisław Chojnacki
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Le croci sono forse l'espressione più caratteristica della creatività artistica dell'Etiopia cristiana. A partire dall'introduzione del Cristianesimo nel 4° secolo e nel corso di tutta la movimentata storia dell'Etiopia, l'uso della croce come simbolo di fede è rimasto parte integrante del patrimonio culturale del paese. Il ricco materiale presentato dal Professor Stanislaw Chojnacki in questa dotta opera è un'analisi approfondita di una vasta collezione di croci che si trovano entro i confini dell'Etiopia e - sempre di più- nei musei del mondo. "Ethiopian Crosses", come il precedente Ethiopian Icons (Icone etiopi), rappresenta un contribuito estremamente significativo al campo degli studi su questo paese ed è il culmine di oltre trent'anni di ricerca dedicata.

Between Bombs and Good Intentions
Author: Rainer Baudendistel
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1782388729
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have highlighted again the precarious situation aid agencies find themselves in, caught as they are between the firing lines of the hostile parties, as they are trying to alleviate the plight of the civilian populations. This book offers an illuminating case study from a previous conflict, the Italo-Ethiopian war of 1935-36, and of the humanitarian operation of the Red Cross during this period. Based on fresh material from Red Cross and Italian military archives, the author examines highly controversial subjects such as the Italian bombings of Red Cross field hospitals, the treatment of Prisoners of War by the two belligerents; and the effects of Fascist Italy’s massive use of poison gas against the Ethiopians. He shows how Mussolini and his ruthless regime, throughout the seven-month war, manipulated the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) – the lead organization of the Red Cross in times of war, helped by the surprising political naïveté of its board. During this war the ICRC redefined its role in a debate, which is fascinating not least because of its relevance to current events, about the nature of humanitarian action. The organization decided to concern itself exclusively with matters falling under the Geneva Conventions and to give priority to bringing relief over expressing protest. It was a decision that should have far-reaching consequences, particularly for the period of World War II and the fate of Jews in Nazi concentration camps.
