Description
Being Muslim, Becoming Ethiopian: Ethnography of a Muslim Community in the Ethiopian Highlands by Saeed Ahmed offers a detailed ethnographic study of a Muslim community in the Ethiopian highlands. The book explores the experiences and identity formation of this community as they navigate their religious and cultural lives within the broader context of Ethiopian society. Ahmed examines how local Muslims integrate Islamic practices with Ethiopian cultural traditions, and how they negotiate their religious identity amidst political and social changes. The study provides insights into the complexities of religious and national identity, highlighting the dynamic ways in which community members both adhere to and adapt their Islamic faith within an Ethiopian context. Through this lens, the book sheds light on the broader themes of religious diversity and cultural adaptation in contemporary Ethiopia.
