商品描述
This book identifies and examines the role of Baro Tumsa in clandestinely bringing together a few Oromo nationalists of diverse backgrounds from all over Oromia, the Oromo country, to establish the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) between the late 1960s and the mid- 1970s in Oromia and Ethiopia. The Haile Selassie government's destruction of Oromo movements, mainly the Macha-Tulama Self-Help Association (MTA), was an immediate reason for the birth of the front. While most Oromos have supported and sympathized with this liberation organization, the colonizers and their agents have vilified and attacked it to make the Oromo society leaderless. For almost a half-century, the OLF has been struggling to uproot Ethiopian (Amhara-Tigray) settler colonialism and its institutions from Oromia to end the domination and exploitation of the Oromo. The book also examines the roles of leaders and social movements in organizing oppressed peoples for collective actions by creating organizations that have visions and missions to liberate themselves. It is a case study of global social movements and leadership studies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了巴羅·圖姆薩(Baro Tumsa)在秘密地將來自奧羅米亞(Oromia)各個背景的奧羅莫(Oromo)民族主義者聚集在一起,在1960年代末至1970年代中期在奧羅米亞和埃塞俄比亞建立奧羅莫解放陣線(OLF)的角色。海爾·塞拉西政府對奧羅莫運動的摧毀,尤其是馬查-圖拉馬自助協會(MTA),是該陣線誕生的直接原因。儘管大多數奧羅莫人支持並同情這個解放組織,但殖民者及其代理人卻詆毀並攻擊它,使奧羅莫社會失去領導者。近半個世紀以來,OLF一直在努力從奧羅米亞根除埃塞俄比亞(阿姆哈拉-提格雷)的殖民統治和其機構,以結束奧羅莫的統治和剝削。該書還探討了領導者和社會運動在組織被壓迫民族進行集體行動方面的角色,通過創建具有解放自己願景和使命的組織。這是一個全球社會運動和領導研究的案例研究。
