This study was conducted on the diasporic Ethiopian literature in English with a primary purposernof filling the observed gap with regard to readers’ hasty judgments. Most of the first generationrnEthiopian diaspora are political victims and, thus, their literary works are full of politicalrnideologies. Because of this, they are easily judged as opposers of the domestic politics of theirrncountry by the state authorities on the one hand, and taken for granted as trustworthy to theirrnpeople by their supporters on the other hand. It is due to this fact that a study on the ideologicalrnplane of some selected texts from the diaspora became the prime interest of the researcher. Asrnideological plane deals with the philosophy behind a given ideology, it greatly contributes inrnminimizing hasty judgments by rationally bringing the reality to light.rnThe method employed in this study is textual analysis. It is a qualitative description andrninterpretation of the main issues of the study as reflected in the selected texts. The results of thernfour texts are also comparatively seen so as to help reveal the commonalities and differences.rnWith regard to the theoretical framework, the entire analysis of the study was conducted from thernangle of the three main theories of political philosophy, namely theory of the state of nature, therndivine right theory, and the social contract theory.rnThus, it is found that the major ideologies reflected in the selected texts are Feudo-capitalism,rnMarxism-Leninism, Nationalism, anarchism, and liberalism.
