From the Paper
"Harold G. Marcus, in Haile Sellassie I: The Formative Years, 1892-1936, attempts to portray the Ethiopian leader who "was a political icon to some, a monster to others, and to all a legend." Marcus tries to bring this larger-than-life leader down-to-earth and show what Sellassie was really like, as a leader and as a man. It is the author's argument that Sellassie was clearly the center of power in Ethiopia in the last half century: "As the architect of the modern state, he had managed his country's entry into the world, in the process becoming a global figure" (x).
As much as might be known about Sellassie, it is Marcus' argument that the real Sellassie has not yet been revealed, and he endeavors to do it. Sellassie portrayed himself as a man who was beleaguered by circumstances, by historical and political..."

Abstract
Emperor Haile Selassie's reign in Ethiopia has been described by the term Kleptocracy, indicating that the Emperor and his cronies plundered the country for their own benefit. Ethiopia was a poor country in any case, and it was poorer after Selassie had taken most of its wealth and left the peasants much worse off then they were when he arrived in office. This paper examines Haile Selassie's reign from 1930, through to his flee from invading Italian troops in 1935 and his reinstatement as Emperor in 1940. The paper traces Haile Selassie's attempts to reform Ethiopia's economy and his final fourteen years in office in which he became greedier and cared less for his subjects.
From the Paper
"Improvement was slow and was hindered by a number of factors, but by the early 1970s the economy had started to grow and to diversify into areas such as manufacturing and services. Such improvements did not aid most Ethiopians, however, and about four-fifths of the population remained subsistence farmers who lived in poverty (Ofcansky and Berry 149). This was one reason why there was growing opposition to the regime of Haile Selassie during the last fourteen years of his reign. There had been a coup attempt in 1960, after which the emperor sought to reclaim the loyalty of the opposition by stepping up reform."

"Emperor Haile Selassie's reign in Ethiopia has been described by the term Kleptocracy, indicating that the Emperor and his cronies plundered the country for their own benefit. Ethiopia was a poor country in any case, and it was poorer after Selassie had taken most of its wealth and left the peasants much worse off then they were when he arrived in office. Selassie was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. He came to power at a time when Ethiopia had to deal with the expansionist policies of Italy prior to World War II. The world powers, especially those in the League of Nations, were not inclined to counter Italy's attack on Ethiopia in 1935. In the early years of the world war, however, Ethiopia was retaken from the Italians by the British, who would continue to dominate Ethiopian affairs after the war ended in 1945. Selassie was restored to power at that time and tried..."

Abstract
Emperor Haile Selassie's reign in Ethiopia can be described by the term Kleptocracy as the Emperor and his cronies plundered the country for their own benefit.
From the Paper
"Emperor Haile Selassie's reign in Ethiopia can be described by the term Kleptocracy as the Emperor and his cronies plundered the country for their own benefit. Ethiopia was a poor country in any case, and it was poorer on the whole once Selassie had taken most of its wealth to be his own and left the peasants much worse off then they were when he arrived in office. In the book The Emperor, journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski shows ways in which the wealth was transferred from the poor to the leadership and the ways in which the Emperor and his friends spent what wealth the country did produce.
Kapuscinski often merely shows the results without discussing the process underlying it. For instance, he presents a scene early in his book which shows the huge difference that existed between the lifestyle of the Emperor and that of the ..."

From the Paper
"The civil war in Ethiopia involves a fight for independence by the province of Eritrea, and this war began in 1961. At that time, the central government in Addis Ababa, then the government of Haile Selassie, broke a United Nations sponsored autonomy plan for the region. Eritrea is the triangular northernmost province of Ethiopia. It is dominated by a range of mountains that flattens out to form the Barka Plains in the west, with an arm of the Danakil depression one of the hottest regions on earth extending in a southeasterly direction, along the Red Sea. The Greek name for the Red Sea was Erythra Thalassa, and it is from this that Eritrea derives its name. It consists of 46,000 square miles of land, or an area about the size of Pennsylvania or Mississippi. It is believed that this region holds the key to Ethiopia's political stability and territorial ..."

"Marcus Garvey is a seminal figure in Civil Rights and Pan-Africanism. In his relatively short career as activist, Garvey had numerous accomplishments. While he made great strides for the greater African Diaspora, Garvey was not without his critics or assailants.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the various theories of George Marcus in the study of anthropology and concludes with various 'experimental' solutions to the problems Marcus addresses in his article "Contemporary Problems of Ethnography in the Modern World System".
From the Paper
"George Marcus's article, "Contemporary Problems of Ethnography in the Modern World System," is a call for anthropologists to take into account change, history, and political economy in their writings.(1986) According to Marcus, "Change and the larger frameworks of local politics have usually been treated in separate theoretical or conceptual discourse with some ethnographic detail added in for illustration." (1986: 166) This partition has resulted in a the world of larger systems seen as externally impinging on and "bounding little worlds, but not integral to them."(166) This paper will explore the methods, and their implications, that Marcus puts forth as a means of integrating historical and political perspectives with the ethnographic."

Abstract
Marcus Mosiah Garvey was a unique social giant. His revolutionary ideas and elite philosophies gave hope to an oppressed people during an era of blatant racism and institutionalize bondage. The purpose of this paper is to constructively analyse and research the early life of renowned giant and African-American leader, Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
From the Paper
"As Garvey continued his journey through life, he became well educated for an African American male during his era. We must remember that this was a period of strong blatant racial oppression. Although Garvey's parents were not formally educated, Mr. Garvey (Garvey's father) was diligent book reader. Mr. Garvey was one of a few black men that had built and maintained a private library in his home. Many scholars argue that Garvey developed a love for reading because his father had acquired so many illustrious books in his library. While a child Garvey attended the local elementary school and Anglican grammar school located at St. Ann's Bay."

"Du Bois and the Niagara Movement did not last very long. They could not get a mass group of African Americans to follow and support their agenda. After the fall of the Niagara Movement, Du Bois joined the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peopled). Members of the NAACP were from various backgrounds. There were African American members, white members, and even Jewish members. Unlike the UNIA, the main focus of Du Bois and the NAACP was to formulate plans on providing legal enforcement for African American Constitutional Rights. "

Abstract
This paper explains that Marcus Garvey was a man with ambition, perseverance, and passion, who wanted to establish an African nation that could be independent. The author points out that his attempts to make black people into a group that would make a powerful contribution to the world were acknowledged by people of his time, but not taken into serious consideration in the long run. This paper concludes that Garveyism's influence on Africans was the stepping-stone for advocating the importance of embracing who you are and questioning where you are going in the future.
From the Paper
"But as good things came to him, the bad also followed ten years of uncertainty for the future of black people. Some people questioned where his intentions were going to take Africans in the long run. From the time he was a young boy, he had always questioned his identity as a black man. He wanted to understand where he came from and whom his ancestors were and felt that it was important to acknowledge this. He also wanted the Diaspora and the Mother Land to connect to form a powerful nation just like the European nations who had separated them years before that."

Abstract
This paper examines how Marcus Garvey expanded on the model for black self-determination offered by Booker T. Washington and the concept of "two-ness" or "double consciousness" provided by W. E. B. DuBois. The paper presents an analysis of where these black leaders stood on these issues. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"While a number of divergent organizations have emerged since the end of the Civil War that reflected a wide range of ideologies, there have been some core components that were generally characteristic of the Black Nationalism tradition. The first component was the ardent belief that blacks in the U.S. were an oppressed nation or national minority, trapped inside a predominantly white society that had developed its own culture, social institutions and collective interests without regard to them. In this "double consciousness" setting of "we" and "them" then, black nationalists frequently considered themselves as being either people of African descent or Africans who just happened to be living in America at the time. Another key component of the Black Nationalism movement was the intuitive assessment by blacks that they would not be able to survive and thrive in a hostile environment unless they built their own institutions and enterprises to provide themselves with the goods, services and resources they would need to prosper."

Abstract
This paper describes the life and career of Roman politician, author, and philosopher, Marcus Tullis Cicero. The paper explains how Cicero was instrumental in the Roman political arena and how his writings offer insightful resources to the events surrounding the Republic of Rome. Furthermore, the paper points out that Cicero's writings are also excellent tools of communication and illustrate techniques that are still relevant, especially in the area of law.
From the Paper
"Born in January 106 BC, Marcus Tullis Cicero remains one of the most popular orators in ancient history. Because none of his ancestors served in the magistrate, Cicero was an ?unusual? (Chodorow 105) man in Roman politics. He is admired primarily for his intelligence and literary talent. Many of Cicero?s ambitious beliefs and ideas are still relevant today because they make compassionate appeals regarding mankind and his place in the universe. Cicero studied in Athens and quickly became active in politics. In 70 BC, he successfully pleaded the case of the Sicilians against Verres, who was known for being corrupt. In 63 BC, at a very young age, he attained the highest public office, the consulate. While in office, he resisted an inserrection lead by Cataline. After Caesar?s death, he led an opposition against Caesar?s lieutenant, Antony, and in 43 BC was murdered by Antony?s command."

Abstract
This report reviews Harold S. Kushner's "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People" and provides a positive view by the paper's author. The essay includes examples from Jewish history.
From the Paper
"It would be so much easier to live in a world where God punishes the evil and rewards the good; a world where everybody knows only good things will happen to them if they follow God's commandments and calamity will be visited only upon those who do not. However, that type of world would eliminate the freedom to make choices between good and evil. People who chose to be good because they will be rewarded are no better than trained dogs performing for treats. The choice is meaningless."
