Sudanese migration is one of the most recent waves from the developing world to the US and Canada. Previous studies on Sudanese international migration were concerned with migration to Egypt and the oil‐rich Arab countries (i.e. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Libya, Qatar and Iraq). This article, the first on Sudanese‐New World migration, focuses on the period since the advent of the current Islamic military government of Lieutenant General Umar al Bashir in 1989, the Gulf war of 1991 and the renewal of the civil war in the Sudan. The article demonstrates that an earlier, small, temporary migration from the Sudan to the New World, based principally (but not exclusively) on seeking higher education, has been replaced by a larger migration stemming from political unrest, economic stringency and a perceived lack of choice in migration. The article also provides basic descriptive data on this phenomenon.
