These volumes provide an interdisciplinary account of the nature and significance of ethnic, religious, and national identity in north-east 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003eAfrican Studies Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t“…\u003cem\u003eboth theoretically and ethnographically, these volumes present a major contribution to contemporary anthropology, as well as social sciences in general.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthnos: Journal of Anthropology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“This in an excellent volume … [that] brings together papers of a uniformly high standard by some of the most experienced and knowledgeable scholars working on this region. ...
