A Journal of African Studies UCLA Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies Title Eritrea: A Preliminary Bibliography Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/19s70393 Journal Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies, 6(3) ISSN 0041-5715 Author Checole, Kassahun Publication Date 1976 DOI 10.5070/F763017457 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California - 140 - ERITREA: A PREI.IMINARY BIBLIOGR1\PHY by Kassahtm Cheoole At a time when the Eritrean peq>les' struggle for national liberation and independence has made fresh and successive advances, it becares increasingly necessary to have a clear underst:andin;J of its socio-econanic and historical dimensions and origins. It is prol::able that such an understanding can adequately OCitlbat the concerted false propaganda of the western media that has for so long projected the Eritrean peoples struggle as that of secession, religious-o::>nflict, etc. The materials carpiled in this preliminary bibliography might serve this purpose, rut in general, they remain far fran adequate. As it is, they can be roughly classified into three parts. First, an assortment of materials of oolonial origins, largely fl:an oolonial anthropologists and other synpathlzing social-scientists. Then there is the large oollection of oonterrg;x>rary political writings, mainly journalistic reports and acoounts of official positions on the question of "disposal" of the fonter Italian oolonies. Finally, there are smaller but succinct acootmts, original documents and war-front reports by the Eritrean Liberation Fronts and their . supporters. The latter, of oourse, speak nnre responsibly and oon­ cisely on the history and present oonditions of the Eritrean peoples' strugg~e . Fourteen years after the anned struggle began in Eritrea, making it one of the longest protracted wars of national liberation in Africa, it still remains vaguely understood. The few texts that are entirely devoted to Eritrean history and social oonditions (at least in the English language) originate fl:an ex-o::>lonial administrators who are apt to reoount their om and the political evaluation of their goverments. I am not aware of any major text that portrays Eritrean eoonanic, political and social history fl:an the perspectives of the Eritrean people. It is roped that this preliminary CXITlpilation of materials on Eritrea in the English language, will enoourage further study and research; especially anong Eritrean OCitlbatants and scholars. - 141 - Note on Sources: This preliminary bibliography was cx:rtpiled fran varied sources. The bolo or three major l:xx:i<s on Eritrea include very little bibliographic notes. On the other hand, a careful check of the footnotes in articles and other materials have given ma valuable leads. Becker's book, The Disposition of the Italian Colonies, 1941- 1951, has an invaluable bibliography of materials on the question of "dispoScU.". D.H. Varley's A Bibliography of Italian Colonisation in Africa, is an extensive carpilation, h::Jwever, it is l:asically limited to the pre-1936 period. The following abstracts, hi bliographies and indexes were also oonsulted with varying results. Often, the listirq of materials on Eritrea in such sources is disappointirqly scanty.

In Eritrea,pre- colonialChristianity, sharp class distinctions,and a strong state promotedinteraction between colonizers andcolonized. Eritrean nationalismemerged against Ethiopia; thus, nosharp breakbetween Eritreans andItalians emerged.Two outgrowths ofcolonialism, the Eritrean nationalmovement andreligious ties,facilitate immigration and integration. In contrast, in Somalia,there was nostrong state, few class differences, the dominantreligion was Islam, andnationalists opposed Italian rule.Consequently, Somali developed few institutionalties to colonialauthorities and few institutionsprovided resources to immigrants.Thus, Somaliimmigrants are few andare not well integratedinto Italian society. * Direct allcorrespondence to Rebecca Jean Emigh, Department ofSociology, 264 HainesHall, Box 951551,Los Angeles, CA 90095-1551;e-mail: [email protected]. ucla.edu.We would like to thank Caroline Brettell, RogerWaldinger, and Roy Pateman for their helpfulcomments.

  • Historical Ties:  India’S Relations with Africa Date Back Several Centuries
    EDITORIAL 30TH JULY 2019 GREAT GAME IN AFRICA Context Defence Minister’s recent visit to Mozambique, which is a good moment to reflect on the growing significance of the East African coastal countries and the islands off it for the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific. Introduction: During the visit to Mozambique, he is expected to sign a number of agreements, including on hydrographic survey, sharing of white shipping information and the monitoring of its exclusive zone. He is also expected to deliver two fast patrol naval craft to the country as part of India’s expanding security cooperation with Mozambique. India and Africa - Historical Ties: India’s relations with Africa date back several centuries. The presence of Indians in East Africa is documented in the 'Periplus of the Erythraean Sea' or Guidebook of the Red Sea by an ancient Greek author written in 60 AD. The geographical proximity and easy navigability in Indian Ocean resulted in well- established trade network between India and the Swahili Coast predating European exploration. More concrete relation between India and Africa begins to emerge during the Islamic age which is evident through the accounts of Venetian traveller Marco Polo. Political connection during the colonial era was linked through M.K Gandhi who began his political career in South Africa, became the leader of colonized and established Indian Natal Congress in 1894. After India got independent, it raised voice for African liberation taking their case to all the available international forums. End of racial struggle and decolonization became the rallying point of India–Africa relations. India was a forerunner as a champion of the interests of the developing countries from Africa, particularly through the Bandung Declaration of 1955, the Group of 77, and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).

This move came for many by surprise. The announcement was welcomed by the Eritrean Authorities. On 9th of July both countries an- nounced a joint declaration of peace. All these developments have been documented in my first publication “A new Era: Eritrea – Ethiopia in Peace”1. Since then the drive to peace and cooperation between the two countries have gained mo- mentum. Furthermore, it spread all over the crises-ridden region of the Horn of Africa. Eritrea settled the longstanding dispute with Somalia. Djibouti and Eritrea decided to settle the border issue. Ethiopia urged Eritrean opposition groups to not work from Ethiopian terri- tory against Eritrea no more. Eritrea herself broke peace agreements with Ethiopian opposi- tion groups and their military wings. With the agreements with Somalia and Djibouti, Eritrea is next to the lifting of the UN-sanctions. Meanwhile the harbors of Massawa and Assab are open for Ethiopian imports and exports. The first Ethiopian ship to dock at Massawa was “Mekelle”, named after the capital city of Tigray – what a symbolic sign! Plans being made to build an oil-pipeline from Assab to Addis Abeba and to revamp the oil refinery of Assab.
