The Making of the Oromo Diaspora: A Historical Sociology of Forced Migration provides a comprehensive analysis of the forced migration of the Oromo people due to Ethiopian imperial expansion, land dispossession, and political marginalization. The book traces historical waves of migration, examines the diaspora's efforts to preserve cultural identity, and highlights transnational political activism. Combining historical, sociological, and political perspectives, Bulcha uses personal narratives to illustrate the impact of oppression and displacement. This work is essential for understanding the Oromo struggle and broader issues of forced migration and diaspora resilience.
