Abstract

Based on fieldwork in Washera Qenie School, this article explores Ethiopian national identity from Qenie students’ viewpoint. Given a distinct line of knowledge system they come across, Qenie students viewed Ethiopia and Itiopiawinnet differently. Individual and group interviews with 66 Qenie students (12 to 18 years old) uncovered traits that the children identified as significant markers of Itiopiawinnet. These were presented under three key psychological dimensions as cognitive, emotional, and behavioral manifestations of national identity. By illuminating salient aspects of Ethiopian identity, this study contributes to the literature on Ethiopian national identity and for policymakers as a stepping board for further reconstruction or reframing of a multifaceted Ethiopian identity.
