In this book, Jok Madut Jok delves deep into Sudan’s culture and past, isolating the factors that have caused its fractured national identity. He describes how Sudan is a country in turmoil, ravaged by civil war, plagued by roaming gangs of rebel and government militia. Because government propaganda, tales of state-sponsored murder, genocide and humanitarian crises are rife, he argues that there is a real need for a measured investigation which carefully examines the causes of the troubles. Jok highlights the Arabization of the central government in the north and the imposition of this cultural identity upon Darfur and the Christian South; he analyzes the vicious cycle of violence and asks what can be done to improve the plight of the Sudanese people in the future.
