Book Description
The main objective of this research was to explore and promote discourse on creating peace in Sudan by investigating the role refugee and immigrant women play in the peace building process of Sudan by Sudanese Diaspora women residing in North America. The research used grounded theory as a guiding method of data collection and analysis, and found that all interviewees acknowledged that women have a substantial role to play in the peace building of their birth country and that the majority of women interviewed contribute directly in many ways to the construction of peace in their country. In addition, the informants supplied useful recommendations on how women could be active participants in the peace building of their country of origin. However, the findings reveal that a disagreement exists among the women interviewed regarding their involvement in various types of organizations, especially political organizations. So, although the vast majority of the Diaspora Sudanese women interviewed are contributing to the peace efforts through established organizations, there are discrepancies on affiliations with varying types of organizations that can assist in achieving peace in their country of origin.

Book Description
Gender, Race, and Sudan’s Exile Politics examines the gendered and racialized discourses and practices of the Sudanese opposition in exile through the opposition movements of the 1990s and early 2000s, and discusses the history through which these discourses evolved. The military coup that brought the National Islamic Front (NIF)—now National Congress Party (NCP)— to power in 1989 not only forced most political parties, trade unions, and activists in Sudan into either exile politics or underground activism; it also urged many of Sudan’s political forces and activists to rethink the meaning of belonging and of the “Old” Sudan. In the mid-1990s, this involved a rethinking of the relationship between religion and politics, acknowledging Sudan’s diversity, acknowledging the need to restructure Sudan’s economy and politics to ensure equal access and participation for the historically marginalized, and committing to self-determination for the people of South Sudan. The concept of the New Sudan broadly captured this rethinking. This book interrogates the relationship between women’s organizations and activisms in exile on one hand, and nationalist, transformative, and other political movements and processes on the other. It further discuses transnational coalition building across difference, including racial difference, between women’s organization seeking to transform gender relations in Sudan and South Sudan.

Book Description
The Sudanese civil war, which lasted from 1983 to 2005, displaced millions of Sudanese worldwide. Most of those who were displaced were from what is now known as South Sudan. In 1995, massive resettlement programs began, bringing some South Sudanese to North America. As a result, a growing diaspora community emerged which actively contributes to and participates in the affairs of their home country. The study sought opinions from South Sudanese who were displaced during the 1983-2005 civil war. The study examines the role played by South Sudanese diaspora in Canada and the United States in the development efforts of South Sudan. It also analyses how this assistance affects peacebuilding and development in the country. More specifically, the study argues that South Sudanese in the diaspora contribute towards peace and the country's development efforts through resource remittances. In this research, the primary question is: How do the South Sudanese diaspora resource remittances affect peacebuilding and development? To answer the research question, look into the role of the South Sudanese diaspora in contributing to the country's socioeconomic development. The purpose of the research is to identify and document how resource remittances can enable the process of peacebuilding and development in a country that has experienced decades of protracted conflict. The study aims to establish the significance of resource remittances in fostering peacebuilding programs and development on an individual, communal, and national level. Documenting the role of South Sudanese diaspora resource remittances demonstrates the importance, mainly how resources are collected, channeled, and directed toward identified peacebuilding and development priorities. Undertaking research is an essential step in determining the contribution of remitted funds to relatives and friends. The study discovered that the diaspora contributes towards the country's development by remitting resources. Local peace initiatives and diaspora communities are contributing positively through collaborative projects in their respective communities. More importantly, resource remittances from the diaspora, assists relatives and friends. The study concluded that South Sudanese in the diaspora are well engaged with their country of origin by supporting relatives and friends through resource remittances. In addition, the study attested to the fact that resource remittances have a positive impact on South Sudanese socioeconomic development.

Book Description
Parallel with the previous volume of conference papers in 2008, Sudan’s Wars and Peace Agreements, most of these selected and thematic articles were originally presented as papers at the 31st meeting of the Sudan Studies Association (SSA) at Arizona State University in 2012. Since that time, the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005 provided for the self-determination referendum of 2011 that resulted in the independence of the new Republic of South Sudan. The previous book presaged this present volume as the, perhaps inevitable, outcome of endless conflicts with no serious effort to “make unity attractive.” As this book goes to press, the new Republic of South Sudan is itself wracked with violent conflict. The hopes to build a new, democratic and civil society in the south from the many inherited problems have now devolved to dysfunction itself. Reading this book will realistically help in understanding these “Roads” taken. The editors and authors have created a multi-faceted account which reveals the complex foundations of these conflicts between north and south, and recently within the south itself. While Khartoum struggles onward with the Islamist project, regional conflicts and grave economic problems, Juba stumbles with corruption, armed rebellion and a grave humanitarian crisis. The half-full glass of dreams of social and economic development supported by oil revenue has been replaced by a glass half empty with new varieties of political dysfunction in which both nations have grave problems in security and economic stability in a generally troubled regional “neighborhood.”

Book Description
This book explores the indigenous peace cultures of the major ethnic groups in South Sudan (Dinka, Nuer, Anuak and Acholi) and analyses their contribution to resolving the civil war. The book utilises qualitative narrative inquiry ethnographic methods to explore the indigenous institutions and customs (customary laws, beliefs and practices) employed in resolving ethnic conflicts and argues for their application in civil war resolution. This book contributes to the decolonial literature/knowledge by discussing the subtle norms, the role of youth, women, and elders, the concepts of resilience and proximity, and their significance in peacebuilding. The book shows that for sustainable peace to happen, subtle roles and disputants' indigenous knowledge should be part of national peace negotiation strategies. This book will interest NGOs, students and scholars of indigenous knowledge, women, youth, conflict and peacebuilding, African Studies and Development in the Horn of Africa and sub-Sahara regions.

Book Description
Global policy highlights the importance of women's participation in peace processes and peacebuilding. Yet the impact of international commitments is not felt on the ground. Most peace agreements do not address the specific concerns of women. And women are still excluded from political processes. This volume presents nine articles drawn from previous editions of Accord that examine the roles women have played in addressing violence and building peace. The case studies cover a period from 1998 to 2010 and contexts as far apart as Bougainville and Sierra Leone, Aceh and Northern Ireland. They document women's first hand peacebuilding practice: the challenges they faced, the opportunities they created and the lessons they have drawn from their experiences. The articles depict women in different contexts taking varying approaches to peacebuilding. They demonstrate women peace activists' resilience and innovation to influence those set on violence, to mediate and promote reconciliation, and women's capacity to mobilise and organise for peace despite exclusion from official negotiations.
