By the mid-1980s, Sudan's economy, society and political framework
were on the point of disintegration. Civil war was exacerbating the
effects of an already major famine. An unpopular government was
resorting to ever more extreme measures in order to remain in
power. The imposition of a particularly oppressive and hash
interpretation of sharia law was heightening racial and religious
tensions. Internationally, Sudan was faced by a debt crisis which
was apparently insoluble, and which threatened to undermine
completely what was left of the economy. This book, first published
in 1988, examines the complex economic and social processes which
led to this situation - emphasising the part played by the state
itself. The book combines detailed multi-disciplinary analyses of
Sudan in the post-colonial era with a consideration of
possibilities for the future.

The authors propose that the Gezira scheme has played a paradoxical
role in the capitalist transformation of the Sudan - reinforcing
some non-capitalist production relations while at the same time
acting as an engine for the peripheral capitalist development.
