Greater Tigray and the Mysterious Magnetism of
Ethiopia
Sinopsis
This is an analytical history of the role
Tigrinya-speakers have played and are still
playing in the history of Ethiopia and Eritrea,
from Tigray's very ancient incipience to the
origins of today's tragically fratricidal war.
Drawing from his huge corpus of publications on
the Horn of Africa, Haggai Erlich sheds new
light on major turning-points, as well as
patterns of continuity. His history revolves
around one key question what was 'the mysterious
magnetism' that held (and still holds) Ethiopia
together? Erlich argues that there is an 'Amhara
thesis' competing with a 'Tigrayan thesis' on
what Ethiopia's political and administrative
system should be, and that the region's history
has often rotated around the axis of struggle
between these two visions. The Tigrayans, though
a minority, have had their periods of
domination, the last ending in 2018. In between
these eras, Tigrayans have been marginalised and
weakened, including as the victims of their own
internal rivalries, which culminated in the deep
and bitter split between 'core' Tigrayans and
Tigrayan Eritreans. In the context of today's
war, Erlich's insightful book offers an
extremely timely introduction to Tigrayan
history, and an indispensable key to
understanding the roots of Ethiopia's present
crisis.
