INTERVIEW ANGLES

Six conversations this book can carry. The author is comfortable being pressed
and prefers interviewers who disagree with him.


A JUST CAUSE, A FAILED STRATEGY
What an insider learned about the difference between a people's right to defend
itself and the wisdom of the strategy chosen in its name.

THE ARCHIVE AGAINST THE SELF
How a writer uses his own dated record to correct his memory, resist
self-exoneration, and write political confession.

WHY WRITE IT IN ENGLISH
Why the Amhara story is underrepresented in the languages the world reads, and
what a first-person archive adds to scholarship and policy.

EXILE AND HELPLESSNESS
The long estrangement of living away from your own people while continuing to
watch them suffer — and what distance clarified and distorted.

COMING BACK TO THE PEACEFUL ROAD
Why a man who spent years in resistance work now argues for patient, civic
struggle — and what it cost him to say so publicly.

WHAT A MOVEMENT LEAVES THE YOUNG
What the next generation should inherit from a political movement besides
slogans, heroes, and enemies.
