Download or read book Nuer Prophets written by Douglas H. Johnson and published by Oxford Studies in Social and C. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major study of the Nuer based on primary research since Evans-Pritchard's classic Nuer Religion. It is also the first full-length historical study of indigenous African prophets operating outside the context of the world's main religions, and as such builds on Evans-Pritchard's pioneering work in promoting collaboration and dialogue between the disciplines of anthropology and history. Prophets first emerged as significant figures among the Nuer in the nineteenth century. They fashioned the religious idiom of prophecy from a range of spiritual ideas, and enunciated the social principles which broadened and sustained a moral community across political and ethnic boundaries. Douglas Johnson argues that, contrary to the standard anthropological interpretation, the major prophets' lasting contribution was their vision of peace, not their role in war. This vision is particularly relevant today, and the book concludes with a detailed discussion of events in the Sudan since independence in 1956, describing how modern Nuer, and many other southern Sudanese, still find the message of the nineteenth-century prophets relevant to their experiences in the current civil war.

Download or read book The Nuer Nation written by Kuajien Wechtuor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes nation as a group of people with strong cultural ties and political identity that is both self-defined and acknowledged by others; a group of people that have exercised political and traditional control over their destinies in the fast and still see such control as possible future strategies. It explains and studies the Nuer as a Nation, not as a tribe; their roles in both Sudans. The Nuer people are known for being independent and proud people who are arguably Africa most proficient warriors. Based on kinship relations their state is characterized by a strong commitment to the dignity and freedom of the individual in the context of a society founded on strong communitarian values. From their first encounters with hostile foreign forces the Nuer have been universally known as fierce fighters who have uncompromisingly insisted on the territorial integrity of their land and the right to the unfettered expression and determination of their culture and language. It is this spirit that animated and enabled the Nuer to be the first people to argue for the implementation of federalism in Sudan in late 1940s, secession of the Southern peoples from Sudan as far back as 1980s and early 1990s for independent of the Republic of South Sudan. From those years to the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the Nuer people have consistently maintained the cause of an independence South Sudan. Thus, South Sudan in no small way owes its existence to the tenacity and sacrifice of the Nuer people. The 2013 Juba genocide on Nuer has, however, reveal that the Dinka government in South Sudan has been pursuing a policy of Dinka socio-economic domination of South Sudanese society. While Dinka ambitions in this regard were known to the Nuer even in the midst of the struggle for independence. The level of reckless hatred the Dinka displayed against the Nuer people has solidified the unspoken conviction held by the majority of Nuer that South Sudan should be divided into independent nation states. In this book the authors present arguments for and against the proposal that the Nuer should separate from South Sudan prompted by civil war and hatred bickering to form a distinctly Nuer homeland. A central to the argument in this book is a reorienting of South Sudan not as a nation, but as a region composed of over 64 nations and ethnic groups many of which inhabit clearly defined and well-known, if not, easily demarcated borders. In this important respect the volume compares South Sudan to pre-Westphalian Western Europe and argues that just as Europe was able to achieve peace largely by breaking apart empires into smaller nation-states so should South Sudan ideally be split up into its constituent lands. We maintain that the creation of a Nuer homeland will be good not only for the Nuer but that it will directly help secure the long term peace and development in the region. The proposed borders of the Nuer homeland subsume only the lands that belong to the Nuer tribes, and are, therefore, the national estate of the Nuer people. Hence the volume shows that the Nuer are not to be understood as a tribe, but the Nuer as a nation in the classical sense composed of tribes. The Nuer, therefore, satisfy all the conditions required for consideration as a nation. Having satisfied all conditions for nationhood this book advances the claim that the Nuer people are within their rights to in calling for their own nation state. The book touched the JCE and Kiir''s forces brutality beyond reach; burning the Nuer and other people alive, beheading human, feeding human on human flesh and drunk them with blood of their dead relatives. It views why the world must be ashamed of covering up crimes in South Sudan. And evaluates the effect of Dinka elders'' 200 years'' ''born to rule'' 2015 master plan and their leaders'' rhetoric statements in rejection of peace with non-Dinka provoking wider possible resistance against the Dinka Domination and possible breaks.

Download or read book Nuer Journeys Nuer Lives written by Jon D. Holtzman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines contemporary migration to the United States through a surprising and compelling case study – the Nuer of Sudan, whose traditional life represents one of the most important case studies in the history of anthropology. It provides an opportunity to examine issues of current importance within anthropology, such as social change, transnationalism, displacement, and diaspora in an easy to understand manner. In understanding the experiences of the Nuer, students will not only gain insights into the world refugee problem and the role of immigration in the United States, they will also learn about the features of Nuer life which are considered a standard part of the anthropology curriculum. The book juxtaposes elements of Nuer culture which are well-known within anthropology — and featured in most anthropology textbooks — with new developments arising from the immigration of many other Nuer to the U.S. in the 1990s as refugees from civil war in southern Sudan. Consequently, this book will fit well within existing anthropology curricula, while providing an important update on descriptions of traditional life.

Download or read book The History of Nuer Nation 5000 Bce to 1943 written by Deng Vanang D and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book covering a period from 5000 BCE to 1943 of Nuer History so Naath would be able to know their history. It contents the deeds of Naath ancestors from the past and how this great people has been done in ancient to modern time. The Book shall answer some questions of who are Naath identity, political and history. Clearly Nuer is a proudly independent Nation with a thousands of year's history since 5000 BCE until the era of imperialism and colonialism which came to an end in 1943. Before colonialism Naath were not part of Sudan until new political change occurred which was force by colonialism. Naath were not Sudanese by identity before scrambling of African continent by new colonial hegemony. Naath people were homogenous nation well-established since before colonization of Africa by seven European nations. This history is written because is very clear that people that has no written history always lost their ways and destined dream. Sudan and Southern Sudan is merely a newly adopted system of nationalism. However, Heterogeneity of Southern Sudan started later in 1947 by Juba's conference which considered by many as the beginning of new identity of South Sudan. 1943 marked the end of Naath state which pre-existing, after 30 years of war of struggle against colonialism by Naath. The Naath political struggle had caused Nuer colonial District commissioners to hold a meeting in 1943 before Juba's Conference for four years to create an independent state for Nuer. Nuer as people and National identity and language established their own nation called Rol Nath earlier before colonialism. Now is a right time to rewrite the Naath history to cover the period of important events started from 5000 BCE to 1943. The Book shall cover ancient and modern Nuer history. It means the Book shall cover a period of around two to three thousand years from 5000 BCE to 1943. This is the period in which Nuer were purely independent homogenous state with a separate political struggle. This is to teach Nuer children their own history to understand the deeds of their ancestors and feel proud of it. The Nuer history will not go wasted as it is part of world's legacy and history. We believe that the world's history is a combination of several civilizations because diversity is made up of differences. Our great Nation is about to lost its legacy and history which made them even confused. This great Nation called Naath people had survived several aggressions for thousands of years. Ancestors paid a lot of blood so that their glorious corpses are glory to next generations. For Nation to flourish its people must rewrite their history to control itself among other nations. With this piece of records, we tend to restore our actions in the past to boost our confidence on ourselves. This Book in particular is not meant to make anthropological studies or research on Nuer people as per collections by scholars during and after colonial time nor making analyses. It is intended to records history tells by Nuer themselves about themselves of what they have done in the past. Clearly, the intention of this work is to record Nuer's deeds from the last centuries to bring Naath's world back to life. There is a long history about to be ignore because of colonial history. The proudness of world's legacy is a collected legacies of different people and cultures. Generations that lost its civilization and history always got no direction of their own. There were a lot of actions done by Nuer for good numbers of years that weren't recorded for long period of time. In addition of ancient Nuer history, there is also more records by colonial administrators. Several scholars and colonial government officials did a substantial work later. Individuals that have done a great work were Evans-Pritchard, Percy Coriat, C. h. Jackson, Douglas H. Johnson, J. W. Burton and Lienhardt and Sharon Hutchinson.

Download or read book Essays on the Political Economy of Rural Africa written by Robert H. Bates and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1987-04-20 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume represent a dialogue between theory and data. The theory is drawn from a branch of contemporary political economy which can also be labeled the collective-choice school. The data are drawn from Africa. The book extends the methods of reasoning developed in collective choice from their original base-the advanced industrial democracies-to new territory; the literature on rural Africa. Such as extension challenges the power of this form of political economy. It also enriches it, for the central questions which motivate the contemporary study of political economy are often addressed with unique clarity in the scholarship on rural Africa.

This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a timely review of the relations between the formal and customary justice systems in Ethiopia, and offers recommendations for legal reform. The book provides cases studies from all the Region of Ethiopia based on field research on the working of customary dispute resolution (CDR) institutions, their mandates, compositions, procedures and processes. The cases studies also document considerable unofficial linkages with the state judicial system, and consider the advantages as well as the limitations of customary institutions with respect to national and international law. The editor's introduction reviews the history of state law and its relations with customary law, summarises the main findings by region as well as as on inter-ethnic issues, and draws conclusions about social and legal structures, principles of organization, cultural concepts and areas, and judicial processes. The introduction also addresses the questions of inclusion and exclusion on the basis of gerontocratic power, gender, age and marginalised status, and the gradual as well as remarkable recent transformations of CDR institutions. The editor's conclusion reviews the characteristics, advantages and limitations of CDR institutions. A strong case is made for greater recognition of customary systems and better alliance with state justice, while safeguarding individual and minority rights. The editors suggest that the current context of greater decentralization opens up opportunities for pratical collaboration between the systems by promoting legal pluralism and reform, thereby enhancing local level justice delivery. The editors conclude by proposing a range of options for more meaningful partnership for consideration by policy makers, the legal profession and other stakeholders. In memory of Aberra Jembere and Dinsa Lepisa. Cover: Elders at peace ceremony in Arbore, 1993.
