The Making of Modern Ethiopia
A socio-cultural reconstruction of modern,Ethiopia's social history, that will have far,reaching repercussions in Ethiopianist discourse.
Hegel and the Third World
Hegel, more than any other modern Western philosopher, produced the most systematic case for the superiority of Western white Protestant bourgeois modernity. He established a racially structured ladder of gradation of the peoples of the world, putting Germanic people at the top of the racial pyramid, people of Asia in the middle, and Africans and Indigenous people of the Americas and Pacific Islands at the bottom. In Hegel and the Third World Tibebu guides the reader through Hegel’s presentation on universalism to argue that such a classification flows in part from Hegel's philosophy of the development of human consciousness. Hegel classified Africans as people arrested at the lowest and m...

A critical study of Edward Wilmot Blyden, whose voluminous writings laid the groundwork for some of the most important African and black diasporic thinkers of the twentieth century.
Hegel and Anti-semitism
Hegel has had a tremendous impact on modern thought, including Marxism. This book addresses issues of Anti-Semitism in Hegel's writings and lectures. It also looks into prominent post-Hegelian philosophers' views on Anti-Semitism, including those of Feuerbach, Marx and Nietzsche. Quite surprisingly, many who declare their vehement opposition to Hegel's philosophy participate in his Anti-Semitic vituperations. This full-length study of Hegel and Anti-Semitism sheds new light not only on Anti-Semitism, but also on Hegel's philosophy in general, and his philosophy of religion in particular. Hegel and Anti-Semitism reveals more about Hegel's philosophy than it does about Anti-Semitism. Hegel defended Jews' civil rights, but at the same time he taught that Judaism as a religion, and the Jews as a people, were inferior to Christianity and Christians.

The contributors in this edition examine historical and contemporaneous issues with different lenses; they investigate the multiplicity and complexity of the contradictions that define traditional and modern Ethiopia. The contributions highlight the significance of the instability, dislocation,...
Black Folk Here and There
Black Folk Here and There is a seminal work that attempts to combine anthropology and comparative history in a study of the Black Experience from the beginning of literate cultures to the advent of the transatlantic slave trade and the White Racism that quickly developed as its ideological support. In this volume, the Black experience is conveyed through the Judaic, Greek and Roman cultures to European Christendom and the Muslim World in the period before the great diaspora from Africa to the West began in the sixteenth century CE.
