David E. Mills, Dividing the Nile. Egyptâs Economic Nationalists in the Sudan, 1918-56
The âUnity of the Nile Valleyâ (wahda wadi al-nil), which was the term that evoked a popular political ideology that was widespread in Sudan and Egypt until the 1950s, described a peculiar form of nationalism. Its ideologues did not postulate that Sudan and Egypt were one nation, but that they were two halves that had been unjustly separated but were destined to be reunited. For the Egyptians, sharing the river Nile made Sudan a natural appendix of Egypt, while for many Sudanese, Egypt was a ..
Love at the Time of Independence
This article explores the way in which romantic love and companionate marriage were debated in Sudan at the time of independence by analysing a small corpus of love stories published in a special column of the left-wing newspaper al-Saraha. I start by contextualizing the left-wing press at a time of tremendous political, economic, and social change in Sudan as a key to understanding the pedagogical mission of al-Saraha. I then describe the various opinions on companionate marriage discussed in these texts and analyse them structurally, highlighting both common patterns and systematic omissions. Finally, I seek to interpret the spread of the ideal of romantic love in Sudan in relation to the theory of the rise of individualism as a sign of a modern State, and to show that the solution these texts proposed was not to disconnect individuals from society, but to reform society as a whole so as to harmonize collective and individual wills

Rethinking Sudan Studies: A Post-2011 Manifesto
Abstract
This essay appraises âSudan Studiesâ following the 2011 secession of South Sudan. It asks two questions. First, what has Sudan Studies been as a colonial and postcolonial field of academic inquiry and how should or must it change? Second, should we continue to write about a single arena of Sudan Studies now that Sudan has split apart? The authors advance a âmanifestoâ for Sudan Studies by urging scholars to map out more intellectual terrain by attending to non-elite actors and women; grass-roots and local history; the environment and the arts; oral sources; and interdisciplinary studies of culture, politics, and society. They propose that scholars can transcend the changing boundaries of the nation-state, and recognize connections forged through past and present migrations and contacts, by studying the Sudan as a zone rather than a fixed country. Finally, in their introduction to this bilingual special issue, they highlight the increasing relevance of French scholarship to the endeavor of rethinking Sudan Studies.
Résumé
Cet essai Ă©value la situation des « Ă©tudes soudanaises » aprĂšs la sĂ©cession du Soudan du Sud. Il pose deux questions. La premiĂšre : En quoi ont consistĂ© les Ă©tudes soudanaises en tant que domaine colonial et postcolonial de recherche universitaire et dans quelle mesure doivent-elles changer, si tant est qu\u27elles doivent changer ? La seconde : Devrions-nous continuer Ă baser nos Ă©crits sur un domaine unique d\u27Ă©tudes soudanaises maintenant que le Soudan est divisĂ© ? Les auteurs proposent un « manifeste » pour les Ă©tudes soudanaises en exhortant les experts Ă cartographier un terrain intellectuel Ă©largi en s\u27intĂ©ressant aux acteurs ne faisant pas partie des Ă©lites et des femmes ; Ă l\u27histoire de la base populaire et locale ; Ă l\u27environnement et Ă l\u27art ; aux sources orales ; et aux Ă©tudes interdisciplinaires portant sur la culture, la politique et la sociĂ©tĂ©. Ils avancent que les chercheurs peuvent aller au-delĂ des frontiĂšres en mutation de l\u27Ătat-nation et reconnaitre les connexions Ă©tablies grĂące aux migrations et aux contacts passĂ©s et prĂ©sents en Ă©tudiant le Soudan comme zone plutĂŽt que comme un pays fixe. Enfin, dans leur introduction Ă ce numĂ©ro bilingue spĂ©cial, ils mettent en relief la pertinence croissance des travaux universitaires français dans le cadre de l\u27initiative visant Ă repenser les Ă©tudes soudanaises

Introduction
This book aims to suggest an analysis of the conflict that focuses on three crucial points. The first is related to space. It is now evident that the framework of the nation-state is too circumscribed and does not capture the complexity of the relations that came into being at local, national and international levels. In this regard, we find particularly penalising the conventional approach that tends to investigate WWI in Africa and the Middle East as two separate settings, a view that unfortunately is still prevalent. Also, WWI studies have tended to examine the conflict within the geographical contours created by the area studies paradigm. Adopted in the 1950s, the area studies model has been under scrutiny since the mid-1990s.73 The artificial disjuncture between Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East reveals all its inadequacies when we deal with the Horn of Africa, an area strongly connected to the neighboring regions. Our choice to focus on a territory which stretches from Libya to Ethiopia and encompasses the Yemen and Middle East is an attempt to overcome this hiatus. Erasing the artificial lines that divide the Horn of Africa from the wider Red Sea region allows approaches that offer a greater understanding of the dynamics at work during WWI. Ours is only a partial attempt to address this methodological limit. But we are aware that Shar\u12bf Husayn\u2019s break with the Ottomans and the volatile situation in Yemen and along the Red Sea deserves more attention from scholars of African history
