The migration of Ethiopians across international borders is a recent phenomenon because of the limited integration of the country and society to the global economy. Since it was never colonized – aside from the Italian occupation of 1936-1941 – Ethiopia’s economy and society were not directly impacted by the ebb and flow of the global economy, and thus never generated international migration. Beginning in the 1970s, due to factors such as famine, rural poverty, civil war, and political repression, an unprecedented number of Ethiopian migrants began to leave their country in search of better, more secure lives. Today, this diaspora constitutes a distinctive community dispersed across the world, but bound by a common feeling of collectiveness and a shared history of the homeland. The contributors to this volume draw their work from a wide variety of interdisciplinary fields and provide new critical insight on Ethiopian migrants and their diaspora communities. What has emerged from these scholarly works is the recognition that the Ethiopian diaspora – although separated by oceans and nations, by politics, ethnicity, class, gender and age – are carving out a social and material world born out of their particular circumstances both "here" and "there". This book was originally published as a special issue of African and Black Diaspora: An International Journal.

At a time when policies are increasingly against it, international migration has become the subject of great public and academic attention. This book departs from the dominant approach of studying international migration at macro level, and from the perspective of destination countries. The contributors here seek to do more than 'scratch the surface' of the migration process, by foregrounding the voices and views of Ethiopian youth--potential migrants and returnees--and of their sending communities.The volume focuses on the perspective and agency of these young people, both potential migrants and returnees, to better understand migration decision-making, experiences and outcomes. It brings together rarely documented cases of young men and women from several communities across Ethiopia, migrating to the Gulf and South Africa. Explaining the agency of local actors--prospective migrants, brokers and sending families--Youth on the Move illuminates the pervasive, persistent failure of state attempts to regulate migration. Moreover, it examines the financing of migration and the sharing of remittances, within a culturally situated moral economy. While accounts centred on economics and political violence are important, the contributors demonstrate compellingly that these factors alone cannot provide a full understanding of migration's complexity, nor of its social realities.

The Story Behind Ethiopian Migration available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The major reason of mass exile being mal-governance, this book vividly shows the yawning gap between African people and their leaders. It exposes most African leaders who bear more allegiance to their bank balances than to their country, the constitution, the flag, and their peoples future. Using my experience as a journalist for over 48 years, covering major events in Ethiopia/Africa, I have tried to bring a close-up portrait of the problems in Ethiopia, and more broadly the horn of Africa and the continent as a whole. This book illuminates the root causes of mass exile, the major problems in Ethiopia, and how that links back to the lack of freedom of expression. I have tried to situate current events in a larger historical backdrop by paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting from historians excerpts, using description and analysis, part political travelogue, part contemporary history to bring the region to life, and answer one key question. Why so many Ethiopians are going in mass exile? The purpose of this book is to demonstrate the economic, political, social and environmental causes of human migration out of Ethiopia/Africa. It is an invitation for discourse, to explain, engage and encourage all those concerned in the fate of Africa to wrestle with the challenges facing the continent today, without being burdened by a troubled past or daunted by a challenging future.

Download and read online ebook Ethiopian Migrant Domestic Workers write by Bina Fernandez. This book was released on 2019-08-06. Ethiopian Migrant Domestic Workers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book tells the stories of the Ethiopian women who migrate to work as domestic workers in the Middle East. Drawing on qualitative research in Ethiopia, Lebanon and Kuwait, the author reveals how women’s aspirations to migrate are constituted within unequal gendered structures of opportunity in Ethiopia and asks us to consider how gender, race, class and nationality intersect in the construction of migrant subjectivities and agency. By analysing the impact of migration on social reproduction both in Ethiopia and the destination countries, the book offers fresh empirical and theoretical insights into the largest stream of women’s autonomous international migration from Africa.
