Islamic Nubian Kingdoms
The 15th century in Nubia witnessed the passage between medieval Christian culture and the Islamic kingdoms of the early modern era. While the transitional age itself generated few historical sources, the course of events may be inferred through examination of the 16th-century consequences. An Islamic political and cultural movement grounded in the Nubian tradition and centered in Kordofan swept eastward to the Red Sea and westward into central C…
Ousmane Oumar Kane. Beyond Timbuktu
Beyond Timbuktu: An Intellectual History of Muslim West Africa contains two related but distinct studies concerning the history of Islamic proselytism and education in Africa, particularly in the western and central Sudan. Ousmane Oumar Kane is eminently qualified by cultural background and formal training to address this theme. The first study, embracing chapters 1 through 5, explores the precolonial legacy of Islamic instruction. Chapter 1, “Ti…
A Tree Under Whom to Seek Shelter
The Islamic Nubian kingdom of Sinnār dominated the northern Nile-valley Sudan from about 1500 to 1821. During the eighteenth century the government began to issue official documents in the Arabic language. Of these, about seventy are known to exist today. The present study examines an extended dispute over landholding near the Nile confluence that generated a series of official documents. Specifically, it considers a pair of unusual early ninetee…

War and Slavery in Sudan
Changing Masters
The spirit possession cult of zar tumbura has a devoted following among Muslim descendents of slaves and other subalterns in the Sudan. In Changing Masters, G. P. Makris studies zar tumbura as part of a wider zar complex for what it reveals about shifting ethnic identities in the modern Sudan. More generally, his work exposes the processes subordinate groups use to assert a positive identity that counters the identity conferred upon them by the d…

The Public Treasury of the Muslims
In 1885 Khartoum fell into the hands of the Mahdist movement which put an end to 60 years of Egyptian rule in the Sudan. An independent state was founded along Islamic principles, which also affected fiscal institutions like the Public Treasury. Through the translation and edition of the monthly budgets of nine and a half months in 1897, one can study closely the various items of revenue and expenditure, the currencies in circulation, the system …

Slavery, Land Tenure and Social Class in the Northern Turkish Sudan
In 1820-1821 armies of Muhammad 'Ali overran kingdom of Sinnar and thereafter, until victory of Mahdi after 1880, extended their rule over most of modern Democratic Republic of Sudan. Previous studies of this Turkish period,1 based largely upon government records, have tended to emphasize the administrative activities of ruling institution.2 The present essay, building upon this historiographical legacy, hopes to address broader social issues and…

The Politics of Two Sudans
A vivid and telling account of the political history of Sudan between 1821 and 1969. It clearly testifies to why the so-called Republic of Sudan is in reality two Sudans: North Sudan and South Sudan. The two differ in every substantive aspect: geographically, ethnically, culturally and religiously

L'A. presente une critique historiographique de la comprehension habituelle du « baqt » et propose une structure alternative : le « baqt » etait a l'origine une institution makurienne et merite une consideration d'un point de vue nubien

The Birth of an African Private Epistolography, Echo Island 1862–1901
This study examines the surviving private correspondence from Echo Island (Jazīrat Abū Ranāt, formerly Abranarti), a small nineteenth-century agricultural community in the Shāīquiyya country of the northern Sudan. The central question addressed is a discordance between the preoccupations of the letters and the concerns manifested in the considerably larger literature of contemporary legal records surviving from the same community, a clash that fi…
Farmers, Herdsmen and the State in Rainland Sinnār
In earlier publications the present writer was at pains to emphasize that the state of Sinnār was not a mere confederation of nomadic Arab tribes; rather, it rested upon a firm agricultural base and was governed bureaucratically, while incorporating an ingeniously conceived system of nobility. This interpretation, though valid as far as it went, rested largely on evidence from riverain Sinnār and left little room for nomads. The present study, ba…
Court Records in Africana Research
A series of panels at the ASA meeting in November 1989 focused on sources and methods for the study of law in colonial Africa. At an informal discussion held afterwards, participants agreed that court records are potentially very valuable sources for historians, anthropologists, and other scholars of Africa but that they have not been used as widely as they might be. In an effort to alert Africanists to the existence of such documents and to enco…

The Old Shaiqi Language in Historical Perspective
The Shaiqiya are the northernmost Arabic-speaking community of the modern riverain Sudan, residing in the Nile bend below the Fourth Cataract as far as the borders of Nubian-speaking Dongola. Independent confirmation of the existence of the Shaiqiya under that name can be found in European sources of the sixteenth century, while charters, chronicles, saints' lives, and orally-preserved traditions allude to their participation in the political and…

A Premise for Precolonial Nuba History
Near the center of the Democratic Republic of the Sudan lies a tract of broken, elevated terrain about the size of South Carolina. The region, by common convention, is called the Nuba Mountains, and the people who live there, through a familiar if misleading generalization, the Nuba. The inhabitants of the Nuba Mountains have long attracted the attention of students of African languages and cultures, for in these respects they exhibit very great …
Hāshim and the Musabba'āt
The Musabba'āt played an important part in the history of the Kordofan/Dār Fūr region in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This article attempts to define who they were and to examine the careers of three generations of Musabba'āt sultans, in particular that of the grandson, their most famous sultan, Hashim b.

The Value of Virginity on Echo Island, 1860-1866

The Funj
Three lines of evidence regarding the Funj prior to the rise of the Sinnār Sultanate about 1500 have been considered. Shilluk tradition remembers the Funj as the previous inhabitants of the present Shilluk homeland, while many of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century visitors to Sinnār were told that the Funj came from the White Nile. While neither set of traditions should be accepted without question, the fact that they tend to confirm each oth…

The Government of Sinnar
The Sinnar sultanate dominated much of the northern Nilotic Sudan during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, and has been generally recognized as one of the important states in northeastern Africa during that era. It seems, however, that historians of Africa know less about Sinnar than, about the contemporary states of the western Sudanic region.1 In large part this situation is a result of the fact that the colonial period in t…
