- Summary
- "Forms of group identity play a prominent role in everyday lives and politics in northeast Africa. Case studies from Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya illustrate the way that identities are formed and change over time, and how local, national and international politics are interwoven. Specific attention is paid to the impact of modern weaponry, new technologies, religious conversion, food and land shortages, international borders, civil war, and displacement on group identities. Drawing on the expertise of anthropologists, historians and geographers, these volumes provide a significant account of a society profoundly shaped by identity politics and contribute to a better understanding of the nature and conflict of war, and forms of alliance and peacemaking, thus providing a comprehensive portrait of this troubled region." -- rear cover.
