Full Description
This is the first ever historical dictionary of South Sudan as an independent nation. It focuses on the events, peoples, and cultures of South Sudan that were once treated as marginal to the grand narrative of Sudanese national history, but without disentangling South Sudan from wider historical connections across the Nile Valley and Northeast Africa. With an interpretive introduction by the three authors, it offers new perspectives on historical events and personalities, extensive coverage of recent events and current affairs, short biographies of leading social and political figures, an extensive chronology, a comprehensive bibliography, and maps based on current research illustrating specific issues confronting the new nation. Building on the classical anthropological and historical studies of South Sudanese peoples as well as new research, especially by South Sudanese authors, it provides a foundation on which to build new research on South Sudan and new perspectives on its shared history with Sudan and the wider region.
Historical Dictionary of South Sudan contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about South Sudan.
