The Konso of Ethiopia

When The Konso Of Ethiopia Was First Published In 1972 The American Anthropologist Described It As 'A Work Which Is Destined To Become A Classic'. The Konso Are One Of The Most Important Peoples Of East Africa And The Author Was Able To Revisit Them In 1997. As A Result He Discovered Large Amounts Of Entirely New Material And Has Been Able To Produce A Completely Revised Edition That Takes Account Of All The Research On The Konso Of The Last Thirty-Five Years. The Result Is The Definitive Account Of A Truly Fascinating People Whose Traditional Culture Is Fast Disappearing.
