Description

In Politics and Islam in Contemporary Sudan, Abdel Salam Sidahmed traces the role of Islamic discourse among twentieth-century Sudanese politicians. In the process he reassesses Sudanese political history in the Anglo-Egyptian colonial period (1898-1956) but especially in the years after independence. He brings his study into the late 1990s by considering the regime of the National Islamic Front (NIF), which came to power after a military coup in 1989. Comparable in subject to Peter Woodward's Sudan: The Unstable State, 1898-1989 (1990) and Abdelwahab El-Affendi's Turabi's Revolution: Islam and Power in Sudan (1991), this work aims to provide interpretation and revision in light of the NIF's ascendance. -- From https://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1029&context=nelc_papers (April 23, 2018).
