Abstract
-
This study focuses on the modern political history of Eritrea, 1941-52. In its theoretical concern, it attempts to challenge the economic reductionist interpretation of political realities of underdeveloped countries by analyzing the roles and relationships of class, ethnic identity, and Eritrean nationalism. Political and ideological analyses are emphasized without abandoning the value of economic analysis.;In its historical and contemporary concern, the study also tries to intervene in the ideological debate between the Ethiopian regime and the Eritrean nationalists. By rejecting the assumptions and perspectives of both camps, the study attempts to reformulate the Eritrean problem as a crisis related to the process of "state-building" in the political history of Ethiopia.
