"With contributions by many of the leading scholars of the region, these volumes convey both the distinctiveness of these diverse communities and their mutual relationships and reciprocal influences, thus providing an analytical handbook to this important region." African Studies Review "...both theoretically and ethnographically, these volumes present a major contribution to contemporary anthropology, as well as social sciences in general." Ethnos: Journal of Anthropology "... an excellent introduction to the region and its interconnected peoples, as well as a useful guide to ethnographical approaches applied by international scholarship. ... It brings sharp insights into the pragmatism of 'traditional identities' as small-scale societies cope - mostly remarkably successfully - with historical values, the vicissitudes of daily life, and the deep but varying impact of modern states that claim them as 'subject-citizens.' ... This is a really worthwhile volume with much to offer at first reading, and as a future reference source of ethnographic description of great historical value."

Synopsis
Forms of group identity play a prominent role in everyday lives and politics in northeast Africa. Case studies from Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Kenya illustrate the way that identities are formed and change over time, and how local, national, and international politics are interwoven. Specific attention is paid to the impact of modern weaponry, new technologies, religious conversion, food and land shortages, international borders, civil war, and displacement on group identities. Drawing on the expertise of anthropologists, historians and geographers, these volumes provide a significant account of a society profoundly shaped by identity politics and contribute to a better understanding of the nature of conflict and war, and forms of alliance and peacemaking, thus providing a comprehensive portrait of this troubled region., A useful guide to ethnographical approaches applied by international scholarship Draws on the expertise of historians, anthropologists and geographers Provides a thorough introduction to the region and its people, Forms of group identity play a prominent role in everyday lives and politics in northeast Africa.
