Abstract
This book attempts to reconstruct the history of Kaffa people prior to their forced incorporation to the Ethiopian empire in 1897. The book is primarily based on the author’s visit to Kaffa in 1926 in the course of which he met a key informant named Amaro Giorgis. The analysis is also informed by the authors knowledge of earlier written sources on Kaffa. The later included the works of Antonio Cecchi, and F. J. Bieber who visited Kaffa in 1879 and 1905 (with a follow-up visit in 1909), respectively.
