Raktažodžiai:
"How do the Kara, a small population residing on the eastern bank of the Omo River in southern Ethiopia, manage to be neither annexed nor exterminated by any of the larger groups that surround them? Through the theoretical lens of rhetoric, this book offers an interactionalist analysis of how the Kara negotiate ethnic and non-ethnic differences among themselves, the relations with their various neighbors, and eventually their integration in the Ethiopian state. The model of the "Wheel of Autonomy" captures the interplay of distinction, agency and autonomy that drives these dynamics and offers an innovative perspective on social relations."--Publisher's summary.

This finely crafted book on a remarkable people is a welcome addition to Ethiopian studies, ethnic studies, and African social anthropology, and of theoretical interest to social scientists who want to know more about rhetoric theory as relevant in a non-Western setting. JRAI





This is a superb book, which regarding theories of culture, the epistemology of ethnographic research, and the evolution of our understanding of South Omo societies is path-breaking The writing is fresh, clear and evocative. John G. Galaty, McGill University
