Sayyid ʿabd Al-Raḥmān Al-Mahdī - A Study of Neo-Mahdīsm in the Sudan, 1899-1956

This is an engrossing analysis of ?Abd al-Ra?m?n al-Mahd?'s initiative to abandon the futile political violence and religious fanaticism of the 19th century historic Mahdiyya. It articulates his alternative constitutional strategy that has placed Neo-Mahdism in the centre stage of Sudanese politics.
