1. Breaking Sudan
The Politics of War and Peace
A concise, historically grounded analysis of how colonial legacies, elite politics, resource competition (especially oil), identity struggles, and repeated civil wars produced the fracturing of Sudan and the fraught birth of South Sudan; blending archival research, fieldwork, and personal testimony, the book explains how competing visions of the state, external interventions, and failures of nation-building turned hopes for independence into ongoing violence, displacement, and fragile governance.
