{"product_id":"hawecha-rhodia-mann-9789966951441","title":"Hawecha: A Woman for All Time","description":"Two hundred years ago, a girl was born into the Oromo tribe, which occupies land in southern Ethiopia as well as in the far north of Kenya. At a time when men ruled the world and young women had no authority whatsoever, Hawecha gradually rose to a position of unprecedented leadership and power. She became the most famous Prophetess of the Oromo people, saving them from famine, pestilence, war and death. Eventually, she became a part of their oral history. In 1986, a Catholic Mission near the Kenya\/Ethiopia border founded the first school for Oromo girls in Kenya, using the story of Hawecha as their inspiration. Rhodia Mann was born in Kenya and studied Oromo culture under a highly-respected oral historian and mystic. She attended major Oromo ceremonies in northern Kenya, and also visited the Oromo in southern Ethiopia. Presented as a historical novel, the legend of Hawecha is used as a means to bring a fascinating and little-known culture to the wider world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhodia Mann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 996695144X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789966951441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Longhorn Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Rhodia Mann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46571017601279,"sku":"9789966951441","price":33.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf59a549-45e0-4ad3-84f9-79ba731cce21.jpg?v=1738807016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hawecha-rhodia-mann-9789966951441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
