Death of Don Levine, Scholar on Ethiopia

Donald N. Levine, one of the world's leading scholars on Ethiopia and long affiliated with the University of Chicago, died on 4 April 2015 at the age of 84.  In 1965 he published a seminal work titled "Wax and Gold: Tradition and Innovation in Ethiopian Culture" that soon became a classic in the field of Ethiopian studies.  It was my privilege to call Don a friend.  The Ethiopia Observer carried an obituary.
