Is multilingualism a problematic paradigm in Ethiopia? / Abbay, Alemseged   Journal Article
Abbay, Alemseged Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract In Ethiopia, the promotion of Amharic by state nationalism was one of the factors that engendered counternationalisms such as the Eritrean secessionist movement. However, a free market of languages along with the domestication of English can contribute to managing/resolving communal conflicts and can usher the country into the global era. Such a liberal language policy does not jettison vernaculars; on the contrary, it permits them unlimited space to coexist or compete with one another and with English for primacy. Amharic will remain primus entre pares in the foreseeable future. However, the free market will catapult one or more of the major languages in the country as well as English to an official status, keeping the vernaculars for their emblematic values.

Nationalism in historic Ethiopia / Abbay, Alemseged   Journal Article
Abbay, Alemseged Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Historic Ethiopia (now Eritrea and Ethiopia) has suffered from extreme forms of ethno-regional nationalism for far too long. By focusing on the interactions between state nationalism, which engendered a plethora of counter nationalisms, and Eritrean separatism (Eritreanism), this article shows the futility of excessive nationalism as the politics of imagined identities that do not necessarily reflect realities and the urgent need to chart a fresh road of dealing with the conditions that engender it rather than blaming those who are forced by circumstances to embrace it as "narrow nationalists" or "tribalists."
