Overview

Focusing on Greater Khartoum following South Sudanese independence in 2011, In-Betweenness in Greater Khartoum explores the impact on society of major political events in areas that are neither urban nor rural, public nor private. This volume uses these in-between spaces as a lens to analyze how these events, in combination with other processes, such as globalization and economic neo-liberalization, impact communities across the region. Drawing on original fieldwork and empirical data, the authors uncover the reshaping of new categories of people that reinforce old dichotomies and in doing so underscore a common Sudanese identity.

Reviews

“[The volume] offers a deeply grounded analysis of recent changes in the capital of Sudan. [It] instates Khartoum within the cities important to consider for the urban world in the making [and] provides a nuanced and complex portrait of a giant metropolis – the largest of the Sahelian region with its 7 – 8 million inhabitants…Exposing the changes, seen from the ground in various neighbourhoods and communities from the 2005 peace agreement to the 2018 Revolution, it introduces Khartoum as a place to think about the negotiation of a place to live by subaltern populations. It is significant to point out that this book brings together Sudanese and women’s productions that display young, new, original voices and research.” • Urban Studies Journal
