In 1989, a secretive movement of Islamists allied itself to a
military cabal to violently take power in Africa's biggest country.
Sudan's revolutionary regime was built on four pillars - a new
politics, economic liberalisation, an Islamic revival, and a U-turn
in foreign relations - and mixed militant conservatism with social
engineering: a vision of authoritarian modernisation. Water and
agricultural policy have been central to this state-building
project. Going beyond the conventional lenses of famine, 'water
wars' or the oil resource curse, Harry Verhoeven links
environmental factors, development, and political power. Based on
years of unique access to the Islamists, generals, and business
elites at the core of the Al-Ingaz Revolution, Verhoeven tells the
story of one of Africa's most ambitious state-building projects in
the modern era - and how its gamble to instrumentalise water and
agriculture to consolidate power is linked to twenty-first-century
globalisation, Islamist ideology, and intensifying geopolitics of
the Nile.
