Samenvatting
South Sudan’s Azande during colonialism, war, and displacement revisits a people long frozen in time by E. E. Evans-Pritchard’s classical anthropology. Its ethnographic research draws on archival sources and hundreds of interviews with chiefs, bureaucrats, former combatants, refugees, and stayees, beginning in a hopeful, post-independence South Sudan and continuing through war and displacement to Uganda. The book traces how colonialism, wars, and mass displacement have fractured Azande society, while also laying the ground for cultural renewal, historical consciousness, and even the reinstatement of an Azande kingdom. Yet the Azande’s cultural renaissance may also bear the seeds of renewed conflict.
