Description

This book completes a trilogy by the anthropologist Wendy James. This is a case study of how the Uduk-speaking people, at the beginning from the Blue Nile region between the ‘north’ and the ‘south’ of Sudan, have been caught up in and displaced by a generation of civil war. Some have responded by defending their nation, others by joining the armed resistance of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army, and yet others ultimately finding security as international refugees in Ethiopia, and even further afield in countries such as the united states. Sudan’s peace agreement of 2005 leaves much uncertainty for the way forward for the entire country, as conflict still rages in Darfur. The Uduk case shows how people who once lived together now attempt to take care of links across borders and even continents through brand new communications, and where conceivable recreate their ‘traditional’ forms of story-telling, music, and song.
