The Changing World of the Dinka

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Sudan's post-civil war era in 1973, this oral history collection captures the reflections of Dinka chiefs on their culture, identity, and future. Dr. Francis Mading Deng facilitates discussions about the implications of the Addis Ababa Agreement, addressing concerns about coexistence, governance, and the role of traditional leadership amidst emerging educated classes. The chiefs share rich narratives of their history, spirituality, and the impact of war, leading to the creation of two significant works that explore Dinka life and beliefs.
