Reviews
Maimire's enlightened exposé of Ethiopian critical philosophy highlights the andmta and moggassa tenets, respectively of the qine and gada traditions. These dynamic intellectual heritages are systemic to internal social, political, and economic practices. They offer, he emphatically argues, strategic, independent and forward-looking interpretations that are emancipatory. --Tsehai Berhane-Selassie, Ph.D. Author of Ethiopian Warriorhood: Defence, Land and Society 1800-1941 (James Currey Press; Oxford, 2018) We have had glimpses of the rich and complex Ethiopian intellectual tradition through the work of Enrico Cerulli, Edward Ullendorff and Donald Levine. It is however, in this massive book (well over 400 pages) that we have an in-depth enquiry into the philosophy and practice of Ethiopian intellectual tradition, that of Quine--a hermeneutic that contains emancipatory dialectic of knowledge. This book, exhaustive as it is, touches only one aspect of Qiné Seména werk (commonly translated as wax and gold). The author uses the Qiné hermeneutics as a tool to interpret and analyse the practices and visions of high- profile personalities from the archives of Ethiopian history, such as Lalibela (end of 12thcentury) Zara Yacob and the Stephanites (mid 15thcentury) Ahmed B. Ibrahim (16thcentury), Tewodros (mid 19th century) as well as the Gada institution. Its central message is that if Ethiopians are to think critically and steadily on Ethiopian conditions from their own history and social practices, they need to retrieve the Qiné. Written by one of the most intriguing philosophers of our time, Qiné Hermeneutics is a crucial input in any discussion on the role and meaning of education for the self and for the society at large. Let us hope that it is soon translated into Amharic. --Tekeste Negash, Ph.D., Author of Rethinking Education in Ethiopia (Nordic Africa Institute, 1996) Maimire Mennasemay has skillfully taken on a Herculean task in writing about qiné hermeneutics and Ethiopian critical theory and their application to contemporary Ethiopia. He parses the absence of inquiry into Ethiopia's "intellectual tradition," and demonstrates why imported ideas and concepts have dominated the country's present-day dialog about modern needs and aspirations. To accomplish this, Maimire traces an intellectual history of the country, interpreting literary texts within sacred and secular traditions and assessing their use of säm ena wärq in revealing and contesting power structures. From Ethiopian history, he finds "Utopian surpluses" that may well be rel-evant to the Ethiopian pursuit of democracy and prosperity (or at least improvement in "poor living") and have the potential to enliven the nation's meeting head on present-day challenges. Of special note is the "Ethioperspectivism" emanating from three indigenous institutions: däbo, iddir, and iqqub (DII). The DII paired with the mog-gaasa perspective of a universally shared political identity or citizenship holds the promise of a new approach to economic and political discourse and action for Ethiopians. The vocabulary of philosophy and sociology plus Amharic terms elucidate this wax and gold treatise. In making his way through the layers of wax necessary to reach his denouement, Maimire has established a new gold standard for describing Ethiopian intellectualism. --Theodor Vestal, Ph.D. Author of The Lion of Judah in the New World: Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia and the Shaping of Americans' Attitudes toward Africa (Praeger, 2011)
Synopsis
The book excavates the critical concepts and interpretative procedures of qiné hermeneutics with a view to enucleate an Ethiopian critical tradition that could meet the intellectual, social, and political challenges of the modern world. It conducts a critical internal journey into Ethiopia's intellectual traditions and elucidates the emancipatory ideas that gestate in them. It uses these as a guide to conduct a critical external journey into the borrowed Western social sciences that are dominant in Ethiopian studies. The text critiques, deflects and reworks this borrowed knowledge from the perspective of the emancipatory aspirations and ideas that the critical internal journey discloses. The book argues for an approach-Ethioperspectivism-that ensures the epistemic autonomy of Ethiopian studies. Ethioperspectivism symphonizes the outcomes of the internal and external journeys to produce knowledge on Ethiopia that is rooted in Ethiopian history and intellectual traditions and is committed to the emancipatory interests of Ethiopians.
