Download or read book Resettlement and Famine in Ethiopia written by Alula Pankhurst and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the inside story of the Ethiopian resettlement programme, carried out in the mid-1980s by the Ethiopian government amid fierce international controversy. It relies on the views of the settlers themselves, and is based on an in-depth study carried out by an anthropologist who lived in a resettlement village. Alula Pankhurst dispels current myths about resettlement; while showing the importance of famine and coercion, he highlights social factors in the mosaic of settlers' motivation. He documents the attempt to institute a collectivist model of agriculture and analyses the reasons for its failure. He also examines the effects of Ethiopia's recent economic liberalisation and the impact of aid agencies. The book addresses an increasing Third World phenomenon: state organised relocation. It is a major contribution to the literature on mass-migration and on refugees. By focusing on the interaction between people and the state, it also reassesses a fundamental development problem: the gulf between local and national priorities. Accessible and thought-provoking, Resettlement and famine in Ethiopia will be of interest to anthropologists, students of development studies, and practitioners, and all those concerned by famine, forced migration and socialist attempts to transform societies.

This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “Famine and Forced Relocations in Ethiopia 1984-1986” case study is describing the difficulties and dilemmas met by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) during the famine that decimated the Ethiopian population in 1984-1985. This famine triggered an unprecedented humanitarian mobilisation and huge media attention. But the Ethiopian regime at the time also used the international aid as a bait to attract the populations and forcibly resettle them in appalling conditions. In this context: what should have been done when it appeared that aid was being used against the population for whom it was intended? Could MSF’s denunciation have endangered international aid operations in Ethiopia? By taking such positions, could MSF put its own existence and, thus, its other activities at risk?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War, famine, pestilence and doctrinaire Marxist-Leninist dictatorship; these are the four horsemen of modern Ethiopia's particular apocalypse. They have combined with one another into a brew more poisonous even than the sum of its parts. Just how a people of such ancient culture and proud history, and of such intelligence and sophistication, could have come to this sad fate requires some words of explanation. That the name Ethiopia has, over the past two decades, become synonymous with starvation, civil war and man's massive inhumanity to his fellow man, is a source of deep pain to Ethiopians everywhere o those in the growing Ethiopian diaspora as much as to those who remain within Ethiopia's borders and of bewilderment and puzzlement to others. There must be a reason for it. This volume, the result of a recent symposium that included two very distinguished former high officials of the Mengistu regime, provides much of the answer.

Download or read book Reluctant Aid Or Aiding the Reluctant written by Steven Varnis and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Makes a persuasive case that the Marxist government of Ethiopia induced famine and was reluctant to obtain or use this benevolent aid to provide effective relief until its contribution to the achievement of revolutionary goals could be assured. . . . Varnis skillfully documents the intricacies of PVO (private voluntary organization) actions to merge government donor and recipient policies. In so doing, he successfully refutes Third World dependency theory doctrines but paints a gloomy picture of continuing food deficits in Ethiopia's future." --T. M. Vestal, Choice "A welcome contribution. He provides a detailed, clear-headed, and accurate analysis of U.S. famine relief to Ethiopia in 1983-86, when good aid was used by the Marxist-Leninist regime for political, military, and ideological ends. Asks all the rights questions and provides most of the right answers." --Michael Radu, Orbis This book undertakes a systematic analysis of responsibilities for the 1983-86 Ethiopian famine and its relief, drawing upon a wide range of materials and personal observation in Ethiopia itself. The policy sources of the famine are described in detail, assessing regional variations in Ethiopian food policy and the inducement of famine.
