These injustices included socio-economic and political marginalization that denied the women basic needs. It gives firsthand life experiences of the Sudanese women during the protracted civil wars in their country. It narrates the horrors of the gruesome journeys that they took as they fled war zone, burying their kids on unmarked graves and moving on. It shows how they dealt with homelessness in host countries through various coping strategies, and their eventual resettlement in USA where again they experienced cultural collisions. However, their determination, innovation, and resilience always helped them to overcome the struggles.
Book Synopsis Wanderings by : Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf
Download or read book Wanderings written by Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the first books devoted to the experience of Sudanese immigrants and exiles in the United States, Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf places her community into context, showing its increasing historical and political significance. Abusharaf herself participates in many aspects of life in the migrant community and in the Sudan in ways that a non-Sudanese could not. Attending religious events, social gatherings, and meetings, Abusharaf discovers that a national sense of common Sudanese identity emerges more strongly among immigrants in North America than it does at home. Sudanese immigrants use informal transatlantic networks to ease the immigration process, and act on the local level to help others find housing and employment. They gather for political activism, to share feasts, and to celebrate marriages, always negotiating between tradition and the challenges of their new surroundings.Abusharaf uses a combination of conversations with Sudanese friends, interviews, and life histories to portray several groups among the Sudanese immigrant population: Southern war refugees, including the "Lost Boys of Sudan," spent years in camps in Kenya or Uganda; professionals were expelled from the Gulf because their country's rulers backed Iraq in the Gulf War; Christian Copts suffered from religious persecution in Sudan; and women migrated alone.

Book Synopsis Understanding Socio-cultural Change [microform] : Transformations and Future Imagining Among Southern Sudanese Women Refugees by : Jane Kani Edward
Download or read book Understanding Socio-cultural Change [microform] : Transformations and Future Imagining Among Southern Sudanese Women Refugees written by Jane Kani Edward and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My thesis examines how southern Sudanese women refugees understand the social, cultural, economic and political transformations that have affected their lives in exile. It intends to show how these women use their experiences to re-evaluate their past and to challenge the image of women refugees as victims and dependents in refugee literature. The assumption I make hear is that, the situation of African women refugees has been analyzed from the varied perspectives that tend to universalize and victimize the refugees. This thesis argues against the universalized, victimized and dependent image of African women refugees by invoking African women's power, agency and their differences. My findings suggest that life in exile has both negative and positive consequences on refugee lives. Due to war and displacement, the social and cultural traditions of those affected are disrupted, leading to changes in behavior, perceptions and lifestyles. Economic difficulties and resettlement program to a third country have led to increase in cases of separation and divorce and have further forced many refugees to alcoholism and prostitution. Although displacement and life in exile disrupt the normal life of those affected, life in exile can be of benefit to refugees. My interviews indicate that life in Cairo allowed women to re-evaluate their perceptions, which in turn necessitated a shift in gender roles, whereby women adopted new social and economic roles contrary to those, which existed in Sudan. Their status of being bread winners, challenge, both the dependent image of a woman refugee and the long-held belief among southern Sudanese that women are always dependent on men economically. Women's new roles also challenge the public-private distinction, rendering it insignificant. It further rendered their representation as victims and dependents in the refugee literature unacceptable. A discursive framework of the interlocking and the intersecting systems of oppression and the idea of the 'simultaneity' of oppression is used in order to capture the complexities of the everyday experiences of the refugees. The underlying assumption in this framework is, the refusal to either address one form of oppression while leaving the others intact or to hierarchize oppressions.
Book Synopsis Nuer Journeys, Nuer Lives by : Jon D. Holtzman
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.

Book Synopsis What They Meant for Evil by : Rebecca Deng
Download or read book What They Meant for Evil written by Rebecca Deng and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many stories have been told about the famous Lost Boys, but now for the first time, a Lost Girl shares her hauntingly beautiful and inspiring story. One of the first unaccompanied refugee children to enter the United States in 2000, after South Sudan's second civil war took the lives of most of her family, Rebecca's story begins in the late 1980s when, at the age of four, her village was attacked and she had to escape. WHAT THEY MEANT FOR EVIL is the account of that unimaginable journey. With the candor and purity of a child, Rebecca recalls how she endured fleeing from gunfire, suffering through hunger and strength-sapping illnesses, dodging life-threatening predators-lions, snakes, crocodiles, and soldiers alike-that dogged her footsteps, and grappling with a war that stole her childhood. Her story is a lyrical, captivating portrait of a child hurled into wartime, and how through divine intervention, she came to America and found a new life full of joy, hope, and redemption.
Book Synopsis Internally Displaced, Refugees and Returnees from and in the Sudan by : Desirée Nilsson
Download or read book Internally Displaced, Refugees and Returnees from and in the Sudan written by Desirée Nilsson and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 2000 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liguria is another country. They do things differently there, particularly when it comes to food. Lucio Galletto grew up in Liguria—at the eastern end of the Riviera di Levante (coast of the rising sun). He didn't realize how special his region was until he fell in love with an Australian girl and traveled 12,000 kilometers to be with her. In 2008 Lucio, and writer David Dale, along with photographer Paul Green, returned to the birthplace of ravioli and pesto and wild-greens pie to investigate how the cooking of Lucio's region had evolved during his 25-year absence. They found a new breed of chefs, farmers, and fishermen adapting traditions to the environmental concerns of the 21st century. Still using the wonderful array of local herbs, vegetables, and seafood, they apply a lighter touch and a more adventurous spirit. In this stunningly photographed book, Lucio brings us the fruits of his travels—180 delicious recipes that respect the experience of the past and anticipate the demands of the future; dishes that are fun to cook, beautiful to look at, a pleasure to share, and kind to the body. And, importantly, that pay homage to the sunny Riviera di Levante from which Lucio's culinary journey began. This book was the winner of the 2008 Gourmand Award for Best Italian Cuisine Book (Australian Category), and the 2009 Cordon d'Or Cuisine Award for Best Illustrated Culinary Book.

Book Synopsis It Feels Like the Burning Hut by : Martha Gatkuoch
Download or read book It Feels Like the Burning Hut written by Martha Gatkuoch and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martha Gatkuoch is a young Sudanese woman who lived through unthinkable trauma. She was a child when her idyllic rural village in Southern Sudan was attacked. She and her brothers were separated from their parents in a heartbreaking journey that took them from their homeland to a refugee camp in Uganda, and then through a difficult journey in the American foster care system. Against all odds, Martha has maintained a resilient peace. In this touching memoir, Martha shares the difficulties and joys of her adventures as a Sudanese woman forging her new life. Martha can recite her lineage twelve generations back, remembering hundreds of years of peace isolated from the rest of the world along the Nile River. Martha's adoptive father, Brett Bymaster, traces the history of Sudan through the eyes of Martha's forefathers, in an attempt to explain Martha's experience in the broader global context. For centuries the impenetrable Sudd, the Sudanese swampland, held back Arab Islamic militants. When the British conquered the Sudd, the floodgates of war broke open. The civil war recently ended and Southern Sudan gained independence. With Martha's generation of resilient Sudanese nationals, there is again hope for peace and tranquility.

Book Synopsis Transforming Displaced Women in Sudan by : Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf
Download or read book Transforming Displaced Women in Sudan written by Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over twenty years of civil war in predominantly Christian Southern Sudan has forced countless people from their homes. Transforming Displaced Women in Sudan examines the lives of women who have forged a new community in a shantytown on the outskirts of Khartoum, the largely Muslim, heavily Arabized capital in the north of the country. Sudanese-born anthropologist Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf delivers a rich ethnography of this squatter settlement based on personal interviews with displaced women and careful observation of the various strategies they adopt to reconstruct their lives and livelihoods. Her findings debunk the myth that these settlements are utterly abject, and instead she discovers a dynamic culture where many women play an active role in fighting for peace and social change. Abusharaf also examines the way women’s bodies are politicized by their displacement, analyzing issues such as religious conversion, marriage, and female circumcision. An urgent dispatch from the ongoing humanitarian crisis in northeastern Africa, Transforming Displaced Women in Sudan will be essential for anyone concerned with the interrelated consequences of war, forced migration, and gender inequality.

Download or read book Alek written by Alek Wek and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the day she was scouted by a modeling agent while shopping at a London street fair when she was just nineteen, Alek Wek's life has been nothing short of a fantasy. When she's not the featured model in print campaigns for hip companies, or gracing the cover of Elle, she is working the runways of Paris, New York, and Milan to model for the world's leading designers, including Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. But nothing in her early years prepared her for the life of a model. Born in Wau, in the southern Sudan, Alek knew only a few years of peace with her family before they were caught up in a ruthless civil war that pitted outlaw militias, the Muslim-dominated government, and southern rebels against each other in a brutal conflict that killed nearly two million people. Here is her daring story of fleeing the war on foot and her escape to London, where her rise from young model to supermodel was all the more notable because of Alek's non-European looks. A probe into the Sudanese conflict and an inside look into the life of a most unique supermodel, Alek is a book that will inspire as well as inform.
