Abstract
This study reconsiders the history of inter-ethnic relations in southwestern Ethiopia. A landmark event was the rise of the Gonga (a Kafa splinter group) to supremacy over the indigenous Mao peoples. Much of the discussion is devoted to showing the centrality of Gonga domination in reconfiguring ethnic relations across the region, including the migration of the Mao people further west and north, and their subsequent separation into several linguistic groups.
