Abstract
Goncha Siso Enase is one of the districts of East Gojjam Administrative Zone of
Amhara National Regional State. The existing literature reveals that in the past the
territory of Goncha Siso Enase was an important center of economy, administration
and religious activ"il1"es in Gojjam at least from the beginning of the 20th century.
During the Italian occupation (1936-41), Goncha Siso Enase was one of the centers of
patriotic resistance in Gojjam. Despite the strong resistance there, the Italians
successively made Goncha Siso Rnase a center of settlement and Commissionership,
1939-41.

The post liberation period also saw increasing changes in the traditional form of
administration, taxation, and land Tenure in Goncha Siso Enase despite the
resistance by the local population. The attempted resistance against the military
junta in the district and the process by which the government imposed its rule was
another important--i3iue discussed in the thesis. The Diirg subsequently introduced
several socio-economic and political reforms and programs_ The thesis looks at the
nature of those reforms, how far they succeeded and brought tangible results in the
district. The thesis also focuses on the establishment of different social facility
centers, during the two regimes. The main thrust of my thesis is to show how a poor,
neglected largelype.asant areas has experienced changes some positive, others
negative under the two different regimes from 1941-1991 .Key to the Transliteration Systems
