The Dinka of the Sudan

 

Francis Mading Deng

 

Written by the son of the late Paramount Chief of the Ngok Dinka, this ethnography provides a rich, well-balanced view of Dinka life in the Sudan. Always in direct contact with a hostile environment, deprivations, and troubles, the Dinka now form part of modern Sudan but remain among the least touched by modernization. Their pride and ethnocentrism are important factors in their conservatism and resistance to change. A rare view of these “Lords of Men” is provided by a writer who is both an insider and a professional researcher and interpreter.
