Abstract
ABSTRACT
The article examines the political and intellectual contributions of Baro Tumsa in forming the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and developing the Oromo national movement. After the Haile Selassie government banned the Macha-Tulama Self-Help Association (MTA) in 1967 and killed or imprisoned its prominent leaders and members, Baro played a central role in the Oromo national struggle facilitating the birth of the OLF. This organization has been mobilizing and leading the Oromo society since the 1970s and is becoming a major political force in shaping the future of Oromia and Ethiopia.
期刊介绍：
Recent years have witnessed considerable worldwide changes concerning social identities such as race, nation and ethnicity, as well as the emergence of new forms of racism and nationalism as discriminatory exclusions. Social Identities aims to furnish an interdisciplinary and international focal point for theorizing issues at the interface of social identities. The journal is especially concerned to address these issues in the context of the transforming political economies and cultures of postmodern and postcolonial conditions. Social Identities is intended as a forum for contesting ideas and debates concerning the formations of, and transformations in, socially significant identities, their attendant forms of material exclusion and power.
