Shangalla
Shanqella (Amharic: ሻንቅላ, šanqəlla—also spelled Shankella, Shangella, Shankalla, or Shangalla) was first the name of a single Nilotic-speaking community on Ethiopia's western frontier, but it gradually broadened into a catch-all label for many small, politically decentralized peoples who lived along the Ethiopian-Sudanese borderlands, (modern Gambela and Benishangul-Gumuz regions), including the Bareya of what is now western Eritrea. Lacking strong centralized institutions and residing far from the highland heartland, these groups were militarily weaker; their darker skin tone, non-Christian, and distinct cultural practices marked them as "others" in Abyssinian eyes, making them especially attractive targets for slave raiders. Because the Shanqella and Bareya were the two frontier communities most commonly raided, their names themselves eventually became synonyms for slave. In this way, notions of darkness and servility fused: to be visibly darker and from a loosely o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mutilation
Mutilation or maiming (from the ) is Bodily harm, severe damage to the body that has a subsequent harmful effect on an individual's quality of life. In the modern era, the term has an overwhelmingly negative connotation, referring to alterations that render something inferior, dysfunctional, imperfect, or ugly. Terminology In 2019, Michael H. Stone, Gary Brucato, and Ann Burgess proposed formal criteria by which "mutilation" might be systematically distinguished from the act of "dismemberment", as these terms are commonly used interchangeably. They suggested that dismemberment involves "the entire removal, by any means, of a large section of the body of a living or dead person, specifically, the head (also termed decapitation), arms, hands, torso, pelvic area, legs, or feet". Mutilation, by contrast, involves "the removal or irreparable disfigurement, by any means, of some smaller portion of one of those larger sections of a living or dead person. The latter would include ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
