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.
