[ES] El occidente de Etiopía, al contrario que otras partes del país, carece de un patrimonio monumental que pueda servir para atraer a turistas y promover el desarrollo económico. Sin embargo, existen otras formas en que las ciencias sociales pueden promover el bienestar social. En esta comunicación describimos cómo nuestra investigación sobre la historia y la cultura de minorías étnicas puede servir para que las administraciones reconozcan las particularidades de tales minorías. Al mismo tiempo nuestra intención es que un conocimiento más preciso de los distintos grupos contribuya a superar incomprensiones y conflictos entre etnias y, en última instancia, permita que las comunidades marginadas preserven su identidad cultural y mejoren su bienestar.
[EN] Unlike other parts of the country, western Ethiopia lacks a monumental heritage that can be used to attract tourists and promote economic development. However, there are other ways through which the social sciences may improve welfare. In this paper we describe how our research on the history and culture of ethnic minorities might be helpful in convincing the local administrations of recognizing those minorities and their idiosyncrasies. At the same time, we believe that a more precise knowledge of the different communities contributes to overcome misunderstandings and conflicts between them and, ultimately, allows the marginalized communities to preserve their cultural heritage and improve their welfare.
