The Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement, a primarily southern rebel and political force, achieved this outcome by initiating peace negotiations as a united front. Beginning in 2005 and lasting six years, the Comprehensive Peace Agreement made unity palatable to the south's diverse population and interests. While the agreement ultimately failed, it did result in southern Sudan's nearly unanimous vote for independence. Since then, violence has returned to the region, with many now fearing that South Sudan will devolve again into war. With the regime in Khartoum richly benefiting from factionalism, maintaining a durable peace seems impossible, and bringing any resolution to the issues that have long dogged Sudan's southerners-ineffectual governance, widespread exploitation and resentment, and ethnic marginalization-seem many years away. Gaining unique access to closed societies and making use of extensive ethnographic research, this volume assesses both the social and political dynamics that have fueled the country's remarkable transformation and the pressures that threaten to tear its statehood apart.    Read reviews of South Sudan.    ORDER THE BOOK $37.50 $26.25 (with the discount code SOUARN) - Cloth - 288 pages     * Orders for the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and South Africa will be handled by John Wiley and Sons.

He first briefly surveys the territory's early hunter-gatherers and the activities of its mid-desert Garamantian civilization. Then he travels briskly through the land's successive invaders: the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Muslim Arabs, Genoans, Normans, Spaniards, Knights of Malta, Ottoman Turks, and semi-independent Karamanlis. Wright also traces the routes of the ancient trans-Saharan black slave trade, which involved ports in Tripoli, Benghazi, the eastern Mediterranean, the Balkans, the Aegean Sea, and the Levant, and he highlights Tripoli's nineteenth-century role in enabling European exploration of the desert. Wright's modern history centers on the Italian era (1911-1943), addressing the harshness of Italy's long conquest yet giving credit to the material achievements of Air Marshal Italo Balbo. Three chapters recast Libya's largely passive role in the Second World War; 1951's fairly smooth transition to an internationally brokered independence; the Sanussi monarchy, which reigned for eighteen years; the discovery and exploitation of oil in the 1950s and 1960s; and the post-1969 Colonel Gadafi phenomenon. This revised edition adds a new chapter on the events surrounding Gadafi's fall and the early developments taking shape in post-liberation Libya. Wright has also revised his text to reflect recent research.     Read reviews of A History of Libya, Revised Edition.  ORDER THE BOOK $20.00 $14.00 (with the discount code HISWRI) - Paper - 288 pages * Orders for the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and South Africa will be handled by John Wiley and Sons.

The essays in this volume confront the historical, political, socioeconomic, and cultural dimensions of the European Union's relationship with Africa. Following the high imperial period of the nineteenth century, many in Europe encouraged the development of a partnership called "Eurafrique," which would have granted European industries privileged access to African resources. This book begins with Europe's attempts to refashion its relations with Africa, particularly after several countries achieved independence in the 1960s. At the same time, it details the historical processes behind Europe's own quest for unity and follows with an exploration of the strategic aspects of Europe and Africa's relationship today. Contributors particularly focus on the place of Africa within the EU's pursuit of global partnerships. Key topics include trade and investment, security and governance, migration and identity, and the potential legacy of contemporary relations. The volume closely analyzes key European players, such as France, Britain, Portugal, and Scandinavia, within the context of the EU. It also examines Europe's controversial immigration policies and complex interactions with the Maghreb and the Mediterranean, as well as perceptions of past and present European identity. The study concludes with a probing look at whether Africa and Europe have escaped the burden of their shared history and whether a future "Afro-Europa" relationship, defined by genuine equality, partnership, and mutual self-interest, can be achieved.
