Book Description

September 2002 0810841002 978-0810841000 Third Edition
This third edition focuses on the Sudan in Islamic times from the 14th century to the present. There is more on the sultanates of Sinnar and Dar Fur, the Mahdiya, and the history of Islam in the Sudan, especially the chronology and analysis of significant events of the past decade, which has seen a radical Islamist movement in power in Khartoum.

This revised Dictionary contains new sections built upon the recent proliferation of literature on women in the Sudan, minority and human rights, Islamism, opposition movements, and refugees and exiles from the Sudan.

A comprehensive reference and research tool for undergraduate students and generalist researchers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This survey volume containing maps, photographs, and a chronology serves as an excellent source for students...Essential. (Choice )

Certainly, all reference libraries as well as large general ones will require this volume, that is an improvement on its predecessors, and bibliophile scholars of the Sudan for their personal librariesssss (H-Net Humanities & Social Science Reviews Online )

...more than just an update. At the heart of the new edition are more than one hundred entirely new entries, - this book teems with information about the Sudan's past and present and, like the original, is an invaluable reference tool. (Mesa Bulletin [2Nd Ed.] )

...the breadth will be welcomed... (Journal Of African History [2Nd Ed.] )

...an extensive update...a solid and much-needed reference source...No institution that supports African studies can afford to be without this volume. (Arba [2Nd Ed.] )

A worthy addition to any collection supporting African, Middle Eastern, or Nile Valley historical interests. (Choice [2Nd Ed.] )

...fascinating and accurate selection of entries which are a model of conciseness. (Asaap Review And Newsletter [2Nd Ed.] )

...a solid piece of work and will remain a major source on the Sudan for many decades. (Sudan Studies Newsletter [2Nd Ed.] )
