Description
Hannah Mariam Meherete-Selassie's memoir, It Was Only Yesterday..., offers a unique glimpse into life as a royal teenager growing up in Africa's first royal family. Born into privilege, her world was turned upside down by the upheaval of 1974, forcing her to flee to the UK and seek refuge. This personal account draws on diaries kept over the past forty-three years, family photographs, informal chats, and interviews, providing a fascinating insight into the intricate world of imperial protocol and palace politics. With firsthand knowledge of her great grand-father, one of the world's longest reigning monarchs, Meherete-Selassie shares her experiences and observations, shedding light on the cultural, social, political, and historical context of pre-socialist Ethiopia in 1974. A memoir that blends personal story with historical significance, It Was Only Yesterday... is a compelling read for anyone interested in understanding this pivotal moment in Ethiopian history.
