Part of the Culture Smart! series

Paperback / softback

Description

Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. Set in Africa, but not wholly African; an isolated nation, yet receptive to the outside world; hierarchical and conservative, yet innovative and desirous of modernity; conformist as a people, and fiercely independent as individuals the Ethiopian identity defies definition.

Ethiopia exists simultaneously in different time periods.

Its people, when they see something new that might work to their advantage, will embrace it and find ways to improve on it.

Modern democracy, however, has understandably been slower to bloom given the strong historical antecedents of its monarchy. Culture Smart! Ethiopia unpacks the values, attitudes, and traditions of this culturally rich nation.

Etiquette in daily life, socializing, and communicating are all helpfully described, and advice is given to on how make the most of a visit.

Above all, it provides the tools to do so in a considerate and sensitive manner. Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture.

Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
