One of the more influential psakim delivered by Rav Ovadiah Yosef zt”l related to the halakhic status of Ethiopian Jews, as discussed in an article in today’s Yediot Achronot.
See here for Don Seeman’s article (Summer 1991) on this ruling in light of ethnographic research.
On the status of Ethiopian Jewry in general, see this article by Rabbi J. David Bleich (Spring 1975).
