Idea of South Sudan: The History of Political Thought

The conflict over the identity of Sudan

produced two contradictory ideological

visions for what Sudan represented. The

development of political organizations in

South Sudan during the period 1920s-1972 is

the history that this book attempts to relate.

It is a history of political ideas that were later

on transformed into political and military

organizations, each on its own ways tried to

achieve what was the core of conflict that is

political and socio-economic identity for the

people of South Sudan.
