This book examines how ordinary people have induced the most important political shifts in the history of the Sudan, including the last 2019 Revolution but also how they have participated to the construction of consensus that regimes needed to survive. The two volumes of the book follow an organization according to discipline: the first is mostly on social history and the second on 'politics from below'.
Expanding access to education for boys & girls is a critical Millennium Development Goal & peace-building challenge. In southern Sudan, as in other post-conflict societies, many girls remain excluded from schooling opportunities which could help develop the knowledge, skills & attitudes to build a peaceful society. Adapted from the source document.
Decades of under-development & conflict have left South Sudanese women -- in the words of the late John Garang -- "the poorest of the poor & the marginalised of the marginalised." It is in this context that violence against women & girls breeds. Adapted from the source document.
