It is produced in the context of the 50th anniversary of the International Conference of Ethiopian Studies (ICES), its scope being limited to those papers presented at the 14th, 15th and 16th ICES held in 2000, 2003 and 2007, respectively. It pays attention to papers on modern Amharic literature (including the themes of modernization and post-Därg reflections); oral literature (including the Añyuaa people's myth; 'Muso' as political discourse; children's game songs; the poetry of begging; protest and panegyric poetry); and Ge'ez literature.
