"This highly informative work digs into the intricate history of
Sudanese politics. Lesch brings a welcome clarity to Sudan's tangle
of political, ethnic, and religious problems by concentrating on
the country's central dilemma: the inability of its leaders to
negotiate a common definition of nationhood." Foreign Affairs
..". the first correct account of what took place... after
independence." Robert O. Collins
The Sudan is torn by ethnic and religious conflict, centered on
the struggle over the definition of the Sudanese nation-state. Is
the Sudan primarily Arab or African by culture and ethnicity?
Should the political system privilege Islamic legal codes or accord
equal citizenship to persons of all faiths? Ann Mosely Lesch
provides a comprehensive and even-handed analysis of the unresolved
struggle for a stable political system and a unified national
identity."
