The Ecology of Survival
L ienhardt, G odfrey (1921–93)
Godfrey Lienhardt, a long‐term colleague of E. E. Evans‐Pritchard, was best known for his seminal work on the Dinka of Sudan and particularly for his first book, Divinity and Experience: The Religion of the Dinka (1961). An astute observer of how people behaved, and with a sensitivity to language influenced by his undergraduate tutor F. R. Leavis, he paid particular attention to what people said about themselves. In analyzing subtle shifts in mea…
Political intelligence, colonial ethnography, and analytical anthropology in the Sudan
This chapter focuses on the role of the Sudan Intelligence Report (SIR) and Sudan Notes and Records (SNR) as media for ethnographic writing and documentation. The administration of the Sudan in 1899 was governed by the legal fact that the Sudan was an Egyptian colony, but Egypt itself was under British occupation. The Wellcome Research Laboratories reports were infrequent and ended in 1911. In the 1930s Sudan service recruits were sent to Oxford …

New Sudan or South Sudan? The Multiple Meanings of Self-Determination in Sudan's Comprehensive Peace Agreement
Examining the experiences of the South since Sudan's independence, this article analyses why the choice of ‘unity’ became an unrealistic option for South Sudanese. Stressing that self-determination for the South was the only way to resolve Sudan's long-standing national crisis, this article points out, at the same time, that it left unresolved the issue of self-determination for the peoples of the northern Sudan who joined the Sudan People's Libe…
The Heglig oil dispute between Sudan and South Sudan
The armed forces of Sudan and newly independent South Sudan recently clashed over the border area called Heglig by Khartoum and Panthou by Juba, in a dispute involving security, ownership of land, and control of oil production. The clash triggered swift condemnation of South Sudan for occupying Sudanese national territory. However, such pronouncements risk pre-judging a dispute that has not yet been decisively resolved. This briefing provides his…
Border battle line
The demarcation of a North–South boundary in the Sudan opens up the possibility of the creation of a new international border in Africa, following the outcome of the Southern Sudanese and Abyei Area referenda in 2011. The line of the proposed boundary runs through the grazing areas of numerous pastoralist peoples, and it is these peoples who will be most directly affected if the new border becomes the frontline between two states. In fact, pastor…

Tribe or nationality? The Sudanese diaspora and the Kenyan Nubis
The settlement of Sudanese soldier colonists throughout British East Africa was a legacy of colonial expansion and pacification. These settlements were developed from the institution of military slavery, which was marked by a close association of slave soldiers with the state and the isolation of military slave communities from the general populace. But once pacification was complete new policies representing new interests made the presence of th…

The Root Causes of Sudan's Civil Wars
The Root Causes of Sudan's Civil Wars. By Douglas H. Johnson. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2003. Pp. 256. $54.95 cloth, $24.95 paper. This is one of most sober books about Sudan conflict I have ever read. Unlike most scholars study civil war in that country as a revolting occurrence, Douglas Johnson accepts it as a matter of fact and history, referencing American Civil War, the war of ten thousand nasty incidents (p. xx). To level field…

Tribal Boundaries and Border Wars
Nuer-Dinka relations are usually described as being based on constant mutual hostility. An examination of Nuer-Dinka relations along the Sobat and Zaraf valleys since the beginning of Nuer eastward expansion in the nineteenth century reveals a different pattern. Conflict during the immediate Nuer conquest of Dinka territory was followed by assimilation of individual Dinka into the Nuer social and political system. Through kinship ties connecting …
The fighting Nuer
IntroductionIn the one hundred and forty years that the Nuer have been known to small audiences outside the Sudan they have almost invariably been presented as truculent and aggressive warriors. They appeared in the nineteenth century exploration literature as archetypical 'savages': naked, stubborn and warlike men who were compared to monkeys, to the monkeys' advantage (Baker 1867:60). In the early twentieth century they were thought to be an in…

The Structure of a Legacy
This article examines the impact of a military institution on civilian life in Northeast Africa. Slave armies used by a series of states during the conquest of the Sudan and East Africa drew on societies on the periphery of the state and spread networks of military and military-derived communities, all defining themselves by reference to the state but retaining links with those groups which supplied them. These networks are still active. The inst…

Political Ecology in the Upper Nile
The enduring ethnographic image of the pastoral Nilotes of the Upper Nile of the Sudan is that of peoples structurally opposed to each other with only limited social and economic ties between major ethnic groups. This image is derived from Evans-Pritchard's study of the Nuer, which was based on field work in the early 1930s. This was a time when both the Nuer and the Dinka of the region were subjected to a series of extreme natural calamities (fl…
Judicial Regulation and Administrative Control
Administrative commitment to customary law among the Nuer wavered under British rule. Its value was first briefly appreciated as a means of obtaining the effective submission of the people to government authority. By igio dissatisfaction with the rate of progress of submission led provincial officials to abandon active involvement in the settlement of internal disputes among the Nuer, but in doing so they ceased to have any real contact with the …

Fixed Shrines and Spiritual Centres in the Upper Nile
Ngundeng and the “Turuk
The historiography of the southern Sudan offers few examples of the critical assessment of sources. Surprisingly, the only conscious attempts at source evaluation have been made by anthropologists or ethnographers. Most historians and political scientists have been preoccupied with chronologies of administration and policy based on colonial documents and have been all too uncritical in accepting these sources for their generalizations on the hist…

Anthropologists and historians of eastern African societies have long shared a common interest in the description and analysis of African religions and beliefs.

Development of Drainage Systems and The Dynamic Cycle
IN recent papers Waldo S. Glock' has advanced the suggestion that physiography, or physical geography, should be regarded as dual in nature, having a static or passive phase called geomorphology and a or active phase which he would name geodynamics. I have elsewhere2 discussed the question as to whether geomorphology, which treats the active evolution of ever-changing land surfaces in terms of structure, process, and stage, can properly be regard…
