Ethiopia is a country located in Africa, but it is not entirely African. It is an isolated nation, but it is receptive to the outside world. It is hierarchical and conservative, but it is innovative and desirous of modernity. The Ethiopian people are conformist as a group, but they are fiercely independent as individuals. The Ethiopian identity defies definition. Ethiopia exists simultaneously in different time periods. When the Ethiopian people see something new that might work to their advantage, they 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 on how to 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.
