Land tenure and agriculture in Sayyoo-Afillo, Western Wallaga, Ethiopia, 1880-1974

This dissertation outlines the agrarian history of the Oromo from their sixteenth century migration to the twentieth century. Using linguistic evidence the study argues that in the pre-sixteenth century period the pastoral and the agricultural Oromo had an interdependent economy and a unified culture. The linguistic evidence indicates the existence of a common pool of vocabulary related to farming activities and crops in the pre-migration period.
