520 2 a| This collection of 6 documents, all in English, provides historical, political, cultural and economic information from the origin of the Kaffa kingdom at the end of the 14th century to the mid 1990s, although most of the documents focus on the decades before and after the Ethiopian conquest in 1897. Among these documents, the book by Max Gruhl provides the earliest systematic attempt to reconstruct the history of Kaffa people prior to their forced incorporation into the Ethiopian empire in 1897. It is based on the author's visit to Kaffa in 1926 when he met a key informant named Amaro Giorgis. Gruhl's analysis is also informed by his knowledge of earlier written sources on Kaffa. The later included the works of Antonio Cecchi, and F. J. Bieber who visited Kaffa in 1879 and 1905 (with a follow-up visit in 1909), respectively. Two works by the German ethnologist Werner J. Lange stand out as the basic sources on Kaffa history and political organization. The first discusses the history of pre-1897 Kaffa history based on ethnographic field work conducted in 1972-1973 (Lange 1982). This book provides valuable primary data, including verbatim reports of informants' accounts, together with the author's own reinterpretation of available secondary sources. The second work focuses on analyzing the structure and nature of Kaffa kingship. It argues that the divine nature of the Kaffa king should be explained not in the religious ideology that equates him as the incarnation of the spirits of the sky-god. It should instead be viewed as an irrational expression of ordinary peoples' rational need for rain, crops, health, and security (Lang 1976). The collection also includes a broadly descriptive ethnographic survey compiled by G.W.B. Huntingford which provides a brief introduction to culture and society. Finally, a book chapter by Gezahegn Petros discusses the lives of submerged occupational castes (Gezahegn 2001).;
