The story of na nation-the destruction of a culture,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oromia: An Introduction to the History of the Oromo People (Paperback)
This short, direct explanation of just what happens to a culture destroyed by competing European colonialisms. High school seniors would benefit from reading and discussing the dynamics of this book. without vituperation, it draws attention to the kind of exploitation which, I think, the average citizen does not suspect continues to exist.
