Preferred term

ethiopianism  

Definition

  • Ethiopianism is the name scholars have given to the race redemption ideas that black theologians and theorists in different parts of the English-colonized world derived from biblical Ethiopia. The term was originally used in the 1890s in South Africa to describe secessionist black churches, which were called Ethiopian denominations after the perennially free black nation of Ethiopia.
