Frå Barth sitt aktørperspektiv og Geertz sin kulturhistorie til Pfeilstetter sitt omgrep «entrepreneurialization
Sammendrag Artikkelen introduserer først to klassiske antropologiske analyser av entreprenørprosessar, Barth sin aktørorientering der entreprenøren starter sosiale endringsprosessar, og Geertz sitt kulturorienterte perspektiv der entreprenøren er del av ei gruppe som skaper ein business culture. Barth spør «kva gjer entreprenøren»?, mens Geertz spør «kven er entreprenøren?». For å vise at begge perspektiva er nyttige vert dei nytta som utgangspun…
Sudanesiske meklarar (brokers) i Yiwu
Sammendrag Denne artikkelen fokuserer på sudanesiske meklarar i Yiwu, ein by på kysten av Kina der handelsmennn frå Sudan kom for å handle billege kinesiske varer. Artikkelen nevner to grupper av sudanesarar, den eine som kjem på korte opphald og ei gruppe som har slått seg ned i byen. For desse siste så har dei etablert firma som yter service til den andre gruppa av handelsmenn. Så begge gruppene er meklarar, men er ulike ved at dei fastbuande i…
Can a Local Descent Group Become an International Network? Research on the Rashāyidah in Five Countries
Local descent groups that all have the name – Rashāyidah – are found in many places in the eastern Arab world. There is evidence that at least some of these groups originated in northwest-ern Arabia, where some of their ancestors lived centuries ago. More significantly, many of them have recently become aware of each other’s existence. Some are constructing a historical and genealogical narrative about common out-migration from Arabia. This narra…
The Hadrami Diaspora
The Hadramis of South Yemen and the emergence of their diasporic communities throughout the Indian Ocean region are an intriguing facet of the history of this region's migratory patterns. In the early centuries of migration, the Yemeni, or Hadrami, traveler was both a trader and a religious missionary, making the migrant community both a "trade diaspora" and a "religious diaspora." This tradition has continued as Hadramis around the world have be…

Anthropological Reflections on the Breakup of Sudan
The division of Sudan into two countries on 9 July 2011 following the self-determination referendum of 9 January represents a rare development in Africa. Few examples exist of new state formations in the continent after the end of the colonial period. Answering the call of the IJMES editor to reflect on what this event will mean for our understanding of Sudan might take us in several directions. Let me use this opportunity to comment on two theme…

Hadramis in Hyderabad
The paper describes and analyses the Hadrami migration to and adaptations in Hyderabad, India. The various adaptive niches exploited by the Hadramis in Hyderabad before the merger with India in 1948 are outlined, particularly the ones relating to the military field. Hadrami officers and soldiers were a typical features of the Nizam's army. But this was to change with the Indian take-over in 1948. The second part of the paper outlines these change…
Reflections on War and State and the Sudan
One characteristic of ‘the new wars’ is that they are often about identity politics, i.e., the quest for power is couched in terms of exclusion and inclusion of people in various groups. But although wars and violence can be explained with reference to ethnicity, i.e., cultural factors, it must also be taken as a language with which other things—economic, material, and political—are being addressed. First, ethnicity is a relational concept that e…

The World Trade Center and Global Crisis
The World Trade Center disaster is an event of such significance that it exhausts interpretation. This is not because of the enormity of the event itself. Numerous humanly caused destructed of just the last hundred years dwarf it in scale, and the attention now addressed to it may over the next year appear disproportionate. But events are never significant in the imagination of human beings independently of the way they are socially constructed i…
Pastoralist-State Relationships among the Hadendowa Beja of Eastern Sudan
The African Pastoral Crisis It is a long established fact in studies on African pastoralism that an understanding of pastoral adaptations cannot be limited to a man-land relationship seen in isolation, i.e. to focussing only on the direct relationships between the natural environment and human adaptation. We know that contemporary African pastoralism is also affected by factors beyond such immediate ecological relationships. African pastoralist c…

Muslim Diversity
The term 'local Islam' has been coined to describe local responses to the effects of globalisation in the Islamic world. All contributions to this volume present cases of 'local Islam' as well as discussing the term itself. But what all of this group of anthropologists and historians convey is a feeling of dissatisfaction with the very term. Their uneasiness relates to the conceptual problems arising from seeing Islam as either local or global. R…
From the Mountains to the Plains
This study of the Lafofa Nuba in the Sudan is the first comprehensive analysis of a matrilineal Nuba group. The author discusses the ways in which the Lafofa people in the Sudan are affected by centralisation of administration, commercialisation of agriculture, and the influence of Muslim culture. The study is a revision of the author's dissertation in anthropology

On the Study of Islam in Local Contexts
Leif O. Manger, 'On the Study of Islam in Local Contexts', Forum for Development Studies, No. 1, 1992, pp. 51-65. The article discusses various anthropological perspectives on 'Local Islam'. The author presents major positions within the field as they have been argued in the writings of Ernest Gellner and Clifford Geertz. By bringing in new literature the author tries to show that these contributions suffer from an attempt to uncover the essence …
Religion, Identities, and Politics
The author discusses the increased importance of Islam in religious and social life in the Sudan, exemplified by a discussion of the interplay between an indigenous, non-Arab, non-Islamized Sudanese people, the Lafofa Nuba, and their interaction with the Arab and Islamic traditions of Sudanese society at large. An understanding of this interaction will require types of analysis that deal with issues of belief as well as broader issues of identity…
