Overview

Sudan has long been a country of two halves, united by colonial boundaries. Juba, the capital of South Sudan, was the centre of huge celebration when the country was declared a new and independent state in 2012. This landmark book recounts how the South's history unrolled over the past 100 years, a story peppered with civil war and ethnic violence that has seen the world watch with horror. The south Sudanese draw their own identity from the history of the Nile and its peoples, and now strive to manage and take forward a young nation of low standing on the Human Development Index.
