It shows that central to their traditional systems of thought and belief was the concept of 'time-force', which may once have formed part of a wider, shared, regional culture. The study presents a number of new findings about the cultural history of the Oromo. With maps, diagrams, photographs, glossary and index.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'Gemetchu Megerssa and Aneesa Kassam have recently published the most comprehensive account of the Oromo philosophy and value system', Bassi, Marco in <em>Archivio Antropologica Mediterraneo</em> Anno XXII, 21 (2), 2019, p. 29n6.</p><br>
