Overview

This book provides an account of the third, last and longest civil revolt of independent Sudan. The December revolution was a continuing process that survived the military coup of 25 October 2021 and remained ongoing after the eruption of the war in April 2023. Based on original fieldwork data and taking an interdisciplinary approach drawing from anthropology, geography, history, politics, law and linguistics, this book provides a picture of everyday life during the December revolution and the plurality of its actors. It stresses the crucial role of inequalities and injustices both as sparks for the social protest movement and the principal demand for building a “New Sudan”.
