Texte intégral
1Colleagues and friends have read and criticised early drafts of this book, enabling me to renew my questions and overcome the obstacles that have marked this work. I want to thank them for their advice and friendship: Pierre Boilley, Rebecca Rogers, Bernard Schlemmer, Pascale Barthélémy, Shiferaw Bekele, Françoise Blum, Ayda Bouanga, Emmanuelle Bouilly, Marie-Laure Derat, Hélène Charton, Étienne Gérard, Henri Médard, Fabrice Melka, Sabine Planel, Ophélie Rillon, Alexis Roy, Elena Vezzadini, and Anaïs Wion.
2I would also particularly like to acknowledge all the people in Wolaita who took the time to share their experience, knowledge and analyses with me. The final analyses remain my own, but I owe them a great deal. I cannot list them all here, although their names appear in the sources section at the end of the book. I would like to make a special mention here of Desalegn Tanga and Euel Heramo from the Wolaita Cultural Association, Abebe Fola, the late Gebre-Mikael Kuke, Zebdewos Chama, Yemesrach Alula, Habtamu Lemma and Asela Gujubo. Thank you all!
3The French Centre of Ethiopian Studies in Addis Ababa backed the translation and editorial process of the book. I want to thank particularly Marie Bridonneau, Jean-Nicolas Bach, Anne-Lise Goujon and Hanna Siyoum Tadesse for their support and trust.
4Finally, many thanks to Simon Dix for translating this book from French into English, and to Bastien Miraucourt and Rosebelle Otieno for their editing work.
