Sudan: State and Society in Crisis FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
Sudan, the largest country in Africa, is torn by political, military, religious, and economic divisions that have brought about a long- lasting civil war and extreme conditions of instability, famine, and homelessness. These essays, most previously published in a special issue of The Middle East journal (v.44, no.4, 1990), examine critical dimensions of the contemporary Sudanese experience in an effort to understand how the current situation has developed and how solutions may be found.
