Beschreibung

"Masterful and intense; passionately critical and solidly informed - Jok Madut Jok has done it again with his very current and poignant Sudan: Race, Religion and Violence."
Richard Lobban - Professor and Chair of Anthropology, Rhode Island College, and Executive Director of the Sudan Studies Association
"A valuable and unique contribution to the literature on Sudan."
Peter Woodward - Professor of Politics, University of Reading, and author of Sudan 1898-1989: The Unstable State
"A powerful and exhaustively documented account... It should be read by all those concerned with the future of Sudan."
John Ryle - Chairman of the Rift Valley Institute and Legrand Ramsey Professor of Anthropology, Bard College, NY
Ravaged by civil war, and plagued by roaming gangs of rebel and government militia, Sudan and Darfur are rarely out of the news. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, over two million have fled their homes, and rape, humanitarian crises and state-sponsored genocide are all rife.
In this ground-breaking investigation, Jok Madut Jok delves deep into Sudan's culture and history, isolating the factors that have caused its fractured national identity. With moving first-hand testimonies, Jok provides a decisive critique of a country in turmoil, and addresses what must be done to break the tragic cycle of racism, poverty, and brutality that grips Sudan and its people.
Jok Madut Jok was born and raised in Sudan. He is Associate Professor of History at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, and author of War and Slavery in Sudan.

Pressestimmen

"This is clearly a very personal account by JMJ and that is much of its strength. His inclusion of much material deriving from his direct contact with people in many parts of the country is a valuable and unique contribution to the literature on Sudan." Peter Woodward - Professor of Politics, University of Reading, and author of "Sudan 1898-1989: The Unstable State"
