"This original and revealing book is a significant contribution to
the understanding of the conflicts that have gripped the Sudan for
decades and may well end only in the division of the
country."--Peter Woodward, author of "Sudan 1898-1989" and "U.S.
Foreign Policy in the Horn of Africa" "A Civil Society Deferred"
chronicles the socio-political history and development of violence
in the Sudan and explores how it has crippled the state, retarded
the development of a national identity, and ravaged the social and
material life of its citizens. It offers the first detailed case
studies of the development of both a colonial and postcolonial
Sudanese state and grounds the violence that grips the country
within the conflict between imperial rule and a resisting civil
society. Abdullahi Gallab establishes his discussion around three
forms of violence: decentralized (individual actors using targets
as a means to express a particular grievance); centralized
(violence enacted illegitimately by state actors); and
"home-brewed" (violence among local actors toward other local
actors). The Turkiyya, the Mahdiyya, the Anglo-Egyptian, and the
postcolonial states have all taken each of these forms to a degree
never before experienced. The same is true for the various social
and political hierarchies in the country, the Islamists, and the
opposing resistance groups and liberation movements. These
dichotomies have led to the creation of a political center that has
sought to extend power and exploit the margins of Sudanese society.
Drawing from academic, archival, and a variety of oral and written
material, as well as personal experience, Gallab offers an original
examination of identity and social formation in the region.
Abdullahi A. Gallab, assistant professor of African and African
American religious studies at Arizona State University, is the
author of "The First Islamist Republic: Development and
Disintegration of Islamism in the Sudan."
