Description and Table of Contents
Description
Celebrating the rich cultures of an ancient society, this work describes the people of Ethiopia's efforts to revive their land. Times are hard: soils are exhausted, schools and hospitals are derelict, and AIDS and urbanization pose new challenges. But the sense of community is strong, and the country's new constitution gives grounds for hope that there is a better future for Ethiopia.
