520 a| The Amhara people of the Ethiopian central highlands are one of the two largest ethnic groups in Ethiopia. This file includes fifteen documents, all but one based on research conducted in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Overall, a more traditional, and rural Amhara culture is portrayed, except for Levine who also discusses modern changes in Amhara culture. Messing's work systematically covers a broad range of culture, circa 1950s, and is the basic source to be consulted. Included in Messing's book is an extensive glossary covering such categories as animals, cultigens, herbs, spirits, and charms. The other works compliment Messing by examining more specific aspects of Amhara culture, such as settlement patterns, political organization, ethnomedicine, land tenure and secretic religious beliefs and practices. Examples and discussions of Amhara representative arts, oral stories and literature are found in Young, Messing, and Assefa, respectively. It is evident that Amhara culture varies geographically, although no one study covers this variability. The post-Haile Selassie period (1975 to present) is not covered in the file.;
