Capturing hope
Bernice Abbott, 1908-1991 was an influential American photographer whose work captured the essence of New York and its often quirky people. Ansel Adams,1902-1984, was another who brought the southwest USA alive in his photographs.
Perhaps not yet as famous but very much alive and still clicking is Irene Fertik –photo chronicler with a very special focus: –Irene documents Ethiopians around the world. It can be safely argued that she is the only professional photographer exclusively engaged in capturing Habesha. In the USA, here in Ethiopia, Australia, and in Israel, where since 1991 she has been documenting the absorption of Ethiopian Jews in their new/old homeland, of Israel.. ‘From Tesfa to Tikva’, is her book project. The title of which means “From Hope to Hope” and is a combination of Amharic and Hebrew. “From Tesfa to Tikva will also be in photo exhibition form and on display at the Institute of Ethiopian studies during the Millennium celebration, sponsored by the Embassy of Israel.

French Scholarship – and the new Ethiopian Millennium |
| |
Ethiopia has intrigued explorers, scholars, painters, bards and the itinerant wanderer since the mists of time. Our country is arguably the most written about nation in Africa next to Egypt. Weighty tomes have been laboriously compiled by Greeks, Romans, Portuguese, British, Italian, German and French writers in various languages.
Unfortunately, few of these works have bibliographies compiled for them. Professor Pankhurst in a previous article, shed light on this issue and gently reminded all historically minded Italians to consider publishing a Bibliography of works by Italians on Ethiopia.
This week, he illuminates the French contribution to Ethiopian studies and repeats his advice for the compilation of the works of eminent French-Ethiophiles into a Bibliography.
