Living With Colonialism - Nationalism and Culture in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan

Zusatztext "Breaks profound new scholarly ground by focusing on the . . . interaction between colonialism and nationalism. . . . Sublime." Informationen zum Autor Heather J. Sharkey is Assistant Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Klappentext "Heather Sharkey demonstrates that the indigenous functionaries trained and mobilized by the colonial state to implement its rule were the key cohort that gave shape to the nationalist movement and eventually to the contested character of the nation-state in Sudan. . . . This excellent case study parallels renewed interest in similar indigenous elites in India! West Africa! and elsewhere! and speaks to a common concern to trace the roots of the postcolonical predicament confronting so many ex-colonial states."-Dane Kennedy! author of The Magic Mountains: Hill Stations and the British Raj Zusammenfassung This work examines the history of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (1898-1956) and the Republic of Sudan that followed in order to understand how colonialism worked on the ground, affected local cultures, influenced the rise of nationalism, and shaped the postcolonial nation-state.
