Nuer People and Religion and its views of nature

More about the book

Focusing on the Nuer people, this description highlights their status as a prominent Nilotic ethnic group in South Sudan and Ethiopia, with a population of around 300,000. Known for their pastoral lifestyle, cattle play a crucial role in their culture and identity, as they refer to themselves as "Naath." The Nuer share cultural and linguistic ties with the Dinka, yet distinct differences in culture, politics, and religion set them apart. Both groups inhabit the savanna and sudd regions of the Upper Nile, emphasizing their shared yet unique identities.
