Alfred G. Nhema & Paul Tiyambe Zeleza (eds.) 2007. *The Roots of African Conflicts: The Causes & Costs, *James Currey: Oxford / Unisa Press: Pretoria / Ohio University Press: Athens in association with OSSREA: Addis Ababa. ISBN: 978-1-84701-300-2 Alfred G. Nhema & Paul Tiyambe Zeleza (eds.) 2007. *The Resolution of African Conflicts: The Management of Conflict Resolution and Post Conflict Reconstruction, *James Currey: Oxford / Unisa Press: Pretoria / Ohio University Press: Athens in association with OSSREA: Addis Ababa ISBN: 978-1-84701-302-6. Nhema and Zeleza have chosen work by a wide range of African scholars to explain the roots, routes, regimes and resolution of African conflicts and how to re-build post-conflict societies. The contributors offer sober and serious analyses, avoiding the sensationalism of the western media and the endemic Afropessimism of scholars in the global north. The result is “these two extraordinary companion volumes, one of the most comprehensive treatments of conflicts in Africa.” (Professor Julius Nyang’oro, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The books were recently launched at the African Studies Association of America annual conference and will be launched in Africa at the 9th OSSREA Congress in Cape Town in mid-December 2007. . |

Eastern Africa Social Science Research Review* Volume xxii No. 3 September 2007, Special Ethiopian Millennium Issue on /Rural Ethiopia: Approaching the New Millennium. ISSN 1027-1775 To mark the celebrations for the New Ethiopian Millennium OSSSREA presents this unique collection of papers submitted to the EASSRR at various times but all based on research in Ethiopia’s rural areas. Topics covered include rain water harvesting, community participation, various assessments of the economics of agricultural production and the transition agro-pastoralism. As agriculture is still the mainstay of Ethiopia’s rapidly transforming economy, this set of articles will provide a lasting impression of rural Ethiopia on the eve of perhaps its most fundamental restructuring.
