ETHIOPIANISM ኢትዮጵያዊነት: A CRUCIBLE PARADIGM ፍኖተ ጣር Ethiopianism denotes an appreciation or a “given.” Common parlance is something Ethiopians have taken for granted for over three millennia. It also became an assumption for all implied answers to Ethiopian questions and problems. Ethiopianism as a “dominant paradigm” in the country refers to the values or system of thought in Ethiopian society that is most standard and widely held at a given time (i.e., three millennia). Ethiopianism is a dominant paradigm shaped by the community’s cultural background and the context of the historical moment. https://www.amazon.com/author/ethiopianism
