Professor Richard Pankhurst, Obituaries; Ethiopia



From The Telegraph - Professor Richard Pankhurst, expert on Ethiopia

From The Times

I often consulted Professor Pankhurst's comprehensive scholarly works (especially Economic History of  Ethiopia 1800-1935, Addis Ababa. 1968), when working in television in Ethiopia in the early-to-mid 1970's.


Professor Pankhurst and The Institute of Ethiopian Studies were very supportive of my film, which included objects from the Institute's collection. I remain most grateful.

The journal Ethiopia Observer was always essential reading. I still treasure my copies.





Published writings since 2000
