Well-written and well-illustrated, The Qemant offers readers a solid exposition of a particular ethnic group in the exotic setting of Ethiopian civilization. This descriptive analysis of the peasantry in an agrarian state provides a backdrop for the serious study of the core conceptions of sociocultural anthropology.

An Authoritive Work,
By Jessy Carlisle (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Qemant: A Pagan-Hebraic Peasantry of Ethiopia (Paperback)
A light and interesting read on a people group about whom no other author has published as best as I am aware.This contains curious information of people who observe certain ancient food laws and the seventh-day Sabbath, although not as other religious groups do (eg the priest's wife cooks on the Sabbath). It is questionable whether this is due to the influence of ancient Judaism during or since King Soloman's time or a result of traditions received from their own ancestors. Unfortunately, this people group is shrinking and may not even exist today considering when the book was published. Does anyone know if they still exist?
