Beschreibung

-
Sudan has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. After decades of civil war, rebel uprisings and power struggles, in 2011 it gave birth to the world-s newest country - South Sudan. But it-s not been an easy transition, and the secession that was meant to pave the path to peace, has plunged the region into further chaos.
-
In this updated edition of his ground-breaking investigation, Jok Madut Jok delves deep into Sudan-s culture and history, isolating the factors that continue to cause its fractured national identity. With moving first-hand testimonies, Jok provides a decisive critique of a region in turmoil, and addresses what must be done to break the tragic cycle of racism, poverty and brutality that grips Sudan and South Sudan.
