description: "This collection of essays on the Sudan highlights the country's critical role in anthropology research and in studies of social change and development in rural Africa. Spanning 25 years, the scholarship reveals the strengths and weaknesses of anthropology, from its exploitive and colonial roots in Africa to its current liberating manifestation. While questioning the modernization paradigm, this critical discussion does not entirely reject development and reveals how development anthropology can serve as a progressive force on the continent."
