{"product_id":"9781782043812","title":"Gender, Home \u0026 Identity: Nuer Repatriation to Southern Sudan","description":"Joint Winner of the Amaury Talbot Prize for African Anthropology 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e How and where did returning Nuer refugees make their 'homes' in southern Sudan? How were gender relations and identity redefined as a result of war, displacement and return to post-war communities? And how were those displaced able to recreate a sense of home, community and  nation?\u003cbr\u003e During the civil wars in southern Sudan (1983-2005) many of the  displaced Sudanese, including many Nuer, were in refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia. In the aftermath of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, they repatriated to southern Sudan. Faced with finding long-lost relatives and local expectations of 'proper behaviour', they often felt displaced again.\u003cbr\u003e This book follows the lives of a group of Nuer in the Greater UpperNile region. The narratives of those displaced and those who stayed behind reveal the complexity of social change, in particular, the crucial yet relatively unconsidered transformation of gender andgenerational relations, and how this has impacted on state formation in what is now South Sudan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Katarzyna Grabska is a research fellow with the Department of Anthropology and Sociology ofDevelopment at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.
