This book critically examines the Oromo people’s experiences under Ethiopian/Abyssinian colonial rule, drawing parallels to the Irish under British rule. It explores how the Oromo faced colonization, cultural delegitimization, land dispossession, poverty, and famine, worsened by European empire builders. Successive Ethiopian regimes deepened inequality, suppressed Oromo self-determination, and exploited their resources, leading to extreme poverty, homelessness, and disease. The book argues that colonialism violated the Oromo people’s sovereignty and rights, resulting in social inequality and unhealthy conditions. It calls for integrating self-determination into public health agendas to improve social relationships and conditions, emphasizing that colonialism acts as a disease-causing agent by perpetuating preventable diseases and social inequities.

Begna Dugassa graduated high school in the top 96th percentile on the national exam and received a scholarship to study in the former USSR. After completing a preparatory program in the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic, he specialized in animal nutrition of farm animals at the Moscow Veterinary Academy, Russia. Due to his commitment to equity, diversity, and social justice, Ethiopian government agents labeled him as anti-revolutionary, forcing him to flee as a refugee. Choosing to settle in Canada, Dugassa continued his academic and professional journey, earning an MSc, MEd, PhD, and postgraduate degrees in public health leadership from Canadian institutions. His career includes roles as a laboratory technician, research associate, and public health professional. He contributed to child health programs in Toronto and worked with diverse racial and cultural groups. Dugassa has served as president of the Oromo Studies Association (OSA) and has published extensively, including over three dozen articles and a book.
