EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Ethiopia during the Italian occupation in 1936. The image shows a group of young Ethiopian students, their curious expressions reflecting a deep desire to learn, as they gather around a map spread out on a table. Their country, proudly independent for over three centuries, had been conquered by the Italians just a few months prior. The Italians, who saw themselves as the bearers of civilization and progress, sought to impose their culture and language upon the Ethiopian people. Education became a key tool in this endeavor, with Italian teachers and textbooks introduced into schools across the country. Despite the harsh realities of colonial rule, these young Ethiopians remain determined to understand the world around them. Their intense focus on the map, which depicts the Italian peninsula and its surrounding European countries, reveals a thirst for knowledge that transcends political boundaries. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of the complex and often contradictory dynamics of colonialism. While the Italians saw themselves as the conquerors, bringing 'civilization' to a 'backward' people, the Ethiopian students in the photograph demonstrate a resilience and intellectual curiosity that challenges such simplistic narratives. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities of colonial history and the enduring spirit of those who lived through it. It invites us to reflect on the ways in which historical events continue to shape our world today, and the importance of understanding the perspectives of those who have been marginalized or erased from dominant narratives.
