Race, Ethnicity, and Violence in South Sudan
De-inventing South Sudan
Historicizing Race, Ethnicity, and the Crisis of Citizenship in Sudan and South Sudan
This article critically outlines the discursive construction of racial and ethnic identities in Sudan and South Sudan, arguing its legacy is essential to understand the entanglement of state-formation, nationalism, citizenship, and political violence in both countries. Race and ethnicity were central to the colonial, nationalist, and postcolonial projects of inventing the "North" and the "South" as self-contained entities, and the politicization …
South Sudan: Post-Independence Dilemmas
The Burden of History: Slavery and Colonialism
This chapter turns attention toward the legacies of slavery and colonialism in the process of state formation in Sudan.

In Da…
Conflict and Politics of Identity in Sudan
"This book explores the relationship between the process of state formation and political identities in the context of Sudan's conflict. Amir Idris examines conflict and politics of identity in the Sudan, and argues that neither race, nor culture is at the center of the Sudan's tragedy.
