"'An outstanding analysis of politics in modern Sudan, providing readers with behind-the-scenes details of the 2019 revolution and the struggles that Sudan continues to face.' -- Mark Fathi Massoud, Professor of Politics and Legal Studies at UC Santa Cruz, and author of 'Law's Fragile State: Colonial, Authoritarian, and Humanitarian Legacies in Sudan' 'In its passion and incisive, in-the-moment analysis, this book recalls Marx's famous ""The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte"". An ideal case study for introducing students to how African states actually work, and to how misguided external attempts to influence or help can be.' -- Donald L. Donham, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Anthropology, UC Davis, and co-editor of 'States of Violence: Politics, Youth, and Memory in Contemporary Africa' 'Detailed, rich and historically embedded, ""Sudan's Unfinished Democracy"" offers a unique and thorough background to better understand this country's contemporary politics and power shifts. It was a privilege to read such a wonderful and timely book.' -- Griet Steel, Assistant Professor of International Development Studies, University of Utrecht 'Taking the reader close to the ground and under the skin of Sudan's popular revolution, this essential and timely book puts the promise and peril of a remarkable African struggle for civic democracy into sharp historical perspective.' -- Sharath Srinivasan, David and Elaine Potter Associate Professor in Governance and Human Rights, University of Cambridge, and author of 'When Peace Kills Politics: International Intervention and Unending Wars in the Sudans'"
