In 211, South Sudan became an independent country. Its long liberation struggle was an attempt to right the wrongs of history: a brutal colonial conquest that was followed by more than a century of deliberate neglect and racial oppression organized by governments headquartered at Khartoum. The long struggle has had a violent aftermath. The war of liberation chaotically reconfigured the economy of South Sudan s pastoralist hinterlands around looting, markets and humanitarian aid. In some of the hinterlands, South Sudan s independence was marked with raids and massacres that pitted ethnic communities against each other. In this remarkably comprehensive work, Edward Thomas provides a multi-layered examination of what is happening in the country today. Writing from the perspective of South Sudan s most mutinous hinterland, Jonglei state, the book explains how an area so remote from the power and wealth of the national capital was at the heart of South Sudan s painful, slow history of state power and liberation. Jonglei s experience at once central and peripheral - exemplifies South Sudan s own history as a rebel province that could bring down Sudanese governments.Drawing on hundreds of interviews and a broad range of sources, this book gives a sharply focused, new account of the country s long unfinished struggle for liberation.
