Eritrea
€21.35
Pateman says in his intro that Eritreans almost universally like his book, and it’s easy to see why. This is a highly uncritical, almost cartoonish look at the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict, in which the Eritreans are always brave and enlightened, the Ethiopians cowardly and villainous. Eritrea is “an oasis of peace and energy… a place of hope for all fair-minded men and women.” Why, it’s practically the Switzerland of east Africa. It’s particularly irritating that Pateman chides Western academics for uncritically supporting Ethiopia throughout the conflict, then describes Eritrea in the same propagandistic terms. Pateman is clearly too close to his subject to evaluate it objectively. For a more sophisticated and nuanced look at this topic, check out Robert Kaplan’s “Surrender or Starve”.
