"The overwhelmingly important question in the Rhodesian crisis is now Rhodesia's vulnerability to economic sanctions. It is difficult to be exact in economic terms; we can only make rough estimates. It is even more difficult to say what the political effect of the economic damage may be. It is important to appreciate as accurately as possible the economic effects; the final conclusion about the effectiveness of sanctions must however be a political one" from introduction.

An expose of the repression experienced in Ethiopia by the Ethiopian Students Union in North America. "Ethiopia is often portrayed as a country with a glorious tradition of rich and enduring civilization.But this image leaves out too much. Beneath the picturesque medievalism of kings and queens lies the overwhelming reality of the misery of our people who have borne the burden of this pageantry. The Ethiopian masses who made heroic sacrifices to safeguard the nation's independence have become subject to the most oppressive internal domination" from introduction.

Relation Historique d'Abissinie

1728BOOKS00671225144 contents and errata2 pages with 2 folding maps lacks frontispiece. Small Quarto 10" x 7 3/4". Rebacked in the 19th century leather retaining the original spine with raised bands and gilt decorative stamping and lettering to spine. Translated from the original Portuguese manuscripts by Jackim le Grande. First edition. Born in Lisbon he entered the Order of Jesus at the age of sixteen. In 1621 he was ordered as a missionary to India and in 1622 he arrived at Goa. With the intention of proceeding to Abyssinia whose Negus emperor Segued had been converted to Roman Catholicism by Pedro PÃ¡ez he left India in 1624. He disembarked on the coast of Mombasa and attempted to reach his destination through the Galla country but was forced to return. In 1625 he set out again accompanied by Mendez the patriarch of Ethiopia and eight missionaries. The party landed on the coast of the Red Sea and Lobo settled in Abyssinia as superintendent of the missions in Tigre. He remained there until death deprived the Catholics of their protector the emperor Segued. Forced by persecution to leave the kingdom in 1634 Lobo and his companions fell into the hands of the Turks at Massawa who sent him to India to procure a ransom for his imprisoned fellow-missionaries. In this he was successful but could not induce the Portuguese viceroy to send an armament against Abyssinia. Intent upon accomplishing this cherished project he embarked for Portugal and after he had been shipwrecked on the coast of Natal and captured by pirates arrived at Lisbon. Neither at this city however nor at Madrid and Rome was any countenance given to Lobo's plan. He accordingly returned to India in 1640 and was elected rector and afterwards provincial of the Jesuits at Goa. After some years he returned to his native city and died there January 29 1678. Lobo wrote an account of his travels in Portuguese which appears never to have been printed but is deposited in the monastery of St. Roque Lisbon. Balthazar Telles made large use of the information therein in his Historia geral da Ethiopia a Alta Coimbra 1660 often erroneously attributed to Lobo see Machado's Bibliotheca Lusitana. Lobo's own narrative was translated from a manuscript copy into French in 1728 by the Abbe Joachim le Grand under the title of Voyage historique d'Abissinie. In 1669 a translation by Sir Peter Wyche of several passages from a manuscript account of Lobo's travels was published by the Royal Society translated in MelchisÃ©dech ThÃ©venotRelation des voyages in 1673. An English abridgment of Le Grand's edition by Dr. Johnson was published in 1735 reprinted 1789. In a MÃ©moire justificatif en rÃ©habilitation des pÃ¨res. Pierre PaÃ«z et JÃ©rÃ´me Lobo Dr. C. T. Beke maintains against Bruce the accuracy of Lobo's statements as to the source of the Abai branch of the Nile. See A. de Backer BibliothÃ¨que de la Compagnie de JÃ©sus edited by C.
