Ethiopia: Bibliography of Key Works

Oxford Bibliographies asked me last year to prepare a bibliography of key works about Ethiopia.  The bibliography titled "Ethiopia" has been published.  The first several pages are available without subscription.  To access the entire bibliography it is necessary to subscribe or access a university on-line subscription.  Oxford Bibliographies prepares bibliographies on most countries and many global issues.  If you are not familiar with this resource, I urge that you explore it through a university subscription.  All contributions to the series are extensively peer reviewed.  My final version of the Ethiopia bibliography looks considerably different than the first draft.
