Islam and Sudan

On 27 January 2011, 99% of Southern Sudan just voted for independence. But what are the philosophical reasons behind the split? If you have been curious about the situation in Sudan as the North and South have battled for decades, and wondered about the roots of the problem, this short book has a few answers. Islam and Sudan, by Dan Jahn, gives you a brief history of the country, an overview of Islam, and explains the Islamic concept of "dhimmi", one of the foundational belief problems that brought this huge country to civil war, and illustrates the failure of Sunni Islam to create a viable nation-state.
