This book completes a trilogy by the anthropologist Wendy James. It is a casestudy of how the Uduk-speaking people, originally from the Blue Nile region between the 'north' and the 'south' of Sudan, have been caught up in and displaced by a generation of civil war. Some have responded by defending their nation, others by joining the armed resistance of the Sudan People's Liberation Army, and yet others eventually finding security as international refugees in Ethiopia, and even further afield in countries such as the USA. Sudan's peace agreement of 2005 leaves much uncertainty for the future of the whole country, asconflict still rages in Darfur. The Uduk case shows how people who once livedtogether now try to maintain links across borders and even continents throughmodern communications, and where possible recreate their 'traditional' forms of story-telling, music, and song.
