Beschreibung:
Jok Madut Jok is a professor of history at Loyola Marymount University, California, and a professor of anthropology at the University of Juba, South Sudan. He is also the founding director of the Sudd Institute, a public policy research centre. His previous books include Sudan: Race, Religion and Violence, also published by Oneworld, and The Sudan Handbook.
After decades of civil war, the people of southern Sudan voted to secede from the north in an attempt to escape the seemingly endless violence. On declaring independence, South Sudan was one of the least developed places on earth, but with the ability to draw upon significant oil reserves worth $150 million a month, the foundation for a successful future was firmly in place. How, then, did the state of the new nation deteriorate even further, to the point that a new civil war broke out two years later?
