A New Sudan?Roland MarchalNotes on ContributorsBibliography Review "It is unusual but refreshing to have a book on contemporary Sudan that does not fixate on the previous and/or ongoing violent conflicts in that country between the north and former southern region, now the independent nation South Sudan… Each contribution is lucid and informative, so those with a special interest in this newly reconstructed country will welcome this volume…Highly recommended." • Choice"This book is useful to those who are just beginning to learn about Sudan as well as scholars who are more experienced and want to update their knowledge about the countrys recent changes… It is a fundamental resource for those who are interested in the study of contemporary Sudan." • African Studies Quarterly"This is an essential book to read as a background and springboard for delving into an extremely critical and complex period of modern Sudan… a landmark and ground-breaking contribution in recent Sudanese studies. It opens new paths for further research and analysis in the study of socio-economic change in Sudan, and as such it is a must-read for everyone who wishes to grasp what is happening in Sudan at present, especially for Africanist researchers and those engaged in postgraduate interdisciplinary programmes." • Égypte/Monde arabe"There really is very little published on some of these topics, and genuine field research of the kind which has been conducted by [this] number of contributors is rare." • Justin Willis, University of Durham"This book brings together sixteen original, detailed field studies... [which] focus on localities across the northerly provinces of the Sudan as it was constituted [in 1989–2011]… The events and processes of this interim period following the civil war have deep roots in the past of the whole region, and continuing relevance to both Sudans today." • Wendy James, University of Oxford Review Quote ". . .there really is very little published on some of these topics, and genuine field-research of the kind which has been conducted by [this] number of contributors is difficult and rare."
