Many thanks to the UTA History department and College of Liberal Arts for granting the funding necessary for me to visit overseas archives and for fellowships to allow me to complete my writing. To my committee, I thank you for taking the time and the effort to help me shape my arguments, to discuss with me things that I just needed to verbalize before I could get them on paper, and for putting up with all the errant comma placement. Imre Demhardt, thank you for introducing me to cartography and to Alexine Tinne. I had no idea she would take me so far. Stephanie Cole, thank you for guiding me and helping me shape this work into a cohesive look at the gender shifts taking place in the nineteenth century. Your help was invaluable to me! Thank you to my #accountabilibuddies Karen and Kristen who kept me motivated to write even when I really did not want to and saved my sanity when I thought none was left. Thank you Robin for being a stern and strong supporter and to Jeanne for letting me vent my frustrations and always cheering me on.

  • Ajoli Ki Yom Cwiny(Acoli) – Karibu (Swahili)
    WELCOME TO YOU – Ajoli ki yom cwiny(Acoli) – Karibu (Swahili) In the coming days you will nestle in Heritage Safari Lodge – you will be seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and touching the wonderful sights; and fantastic landscape abound with unlimited and diverse flora and fauna of the renowned Murchison Falls National Park. This booklet provides you with a brief overview of Uganda, the Murchison Falls National Park, Heritage Safari Lodge, and the Acoli tribe – the guardians of the Park, who ceded custodianship and right of access, hunt, fish and gather from the environs which officially became the Murchison Falls National Park in 1954. The Park sits, for over 150 kilometres, aside the great Nile River in its 4,238 miles northward journey to the Mediterranean Sea. It occupies the place of origin of the Acoli tribe. For centuries, the Acoli tribe had in place a well-developed culture-based management of the uncultivated land that balanced the interests of man and the wildlife. Building upon this heritage, the British Protectorate Government in Uganda created the Park in 1954. Professional management guided and informed by scientific research; and underpinned by a legal framework was instituted to replace or rather supplement the tradition-based practice and governance structure. The Heritage Safari Lodge was opened on 3rd November, 2013, to offer one of the best viewing sights of the Hybrid Solar Eclipse that occurred on that day. The booklet tells you why the Lodge was named – HERITAGE SAFARI LODGE. The poem – “Hybrid Solar Eclipse at Heritage Safari Lodge” commemorates the Lodge’s opening day.

  • LIFE IS PRICKLY. NARRATING HISTORY, BELONGING, and COMMON PLACE in BOR, SOUTH SUDAN a Dissertation Submitted to the Temple
    LIFE IS PRICKLY. NARRATING HISTORY, BELONGING, AND COMMON PLACE IN BOR, SOUTH SUDAN A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Brendan R. Tuttle January 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Paul Garrett, Advisory Chair, Anthropology Dr. Mindie Lazarus-Black, Department of Anthropology Dr. Marilyn Silberfein, Geography and Urban Studies, Temple University Dr. Heather Sharkey, External Member, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, University of Pennsylvania i ABSTRACT An ethnography based on research carried out between 2009 and 2010 in the vicinity of Bor Town, the capital of Jonglei State, in what was then Southern Sudan, this dissertation is primarily concerned with people’s reflections on making agreements with one another during a period when the nature of belonging was being publically discussed and redefined. It examines historical narratives and discussions about how people ought to relate to the past and to each other in the changed circumstances following the formal cessation of hostilities between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army in 2005. This dissertation departs from much of the literature on Southern Sudan by focusing on the common place, the nature of promises and ordinary talk, as opposed to state failure and armed conflict. After 21 years of multiple and overlapping conflicts in Sudan, a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed in January of 2005. The agreement stipulated national elections during a six-year Interim Period, at the end of which, the people of Southern Sudan were to hold a referendum on self-determination to decide whether to remain united with Sudan or to secede.

Pakwach, Uganda, on Friday 7th March, 2014. On 10th March, 2014, three days afterwards, he died, suddenly, from suspected heat stroke in the area of Amorapi Village in Ajai Game Reserve, in Pawo County, in northern Uganda’s Arua District. He was on assignment for the Men’s Journal of New York, USA, researching and writing on Capt Levison Wood’s Walking, the Length of the Nile Expedition. The history of the area is blended into the tribute to enable the reader to grasp the background and context of the exploration of the Nile River in relation to the Albert Nile, the section of the Nile that had immediate relevance to what the late journalist was covering when he died. The chronicle ends with our heads bowed and in prayers for Matthew Power, and his family. Matthew Power – The Water of The Nile River is our Prayer. Our Poem and Our Word The Tribute On behalf of the management and staff of Heritage Safari Lodge, Murchison Falls Park, Pakwach, Uganda; I express our extreme shock and sadness at the sudden death of Matthew Power.

Member-Supported Public Media Serving Central Pennsylvania. Take Note: Heart of the Nile. Take Note: Heart of the Nile. Prepare to embark upon a breathtaking adventure, brimming with hair-raising rescues, impossible quests, danger, discovery, catastrophe, mutiny and uncompromising love-all the more remarkable because every word is true. In her new book, To the Heart of the Nile: Lady Florence Baker and the Exploration of Central Africa, nationally-acclaimed author Pat Shipman chronicles the dramatic lives of two Victorian adventurers a compulsive explorer and the courageous beauty he rescued from a Turkish harem. Shipman is the author of seven books, including The Man Who Found the Missing Link and Taking Wing, which won the Phi Beta Kappa Prize for science. To the Heart of the Nile by Pat Shipman. A woman and her husband defy the odds and travel, though not to Joseph Conrad’s Congo, certainly to the heart of darkness in their exploration of Central Africa. The Quest: discovering the source of the Nile. The Journey: dangerously severe. The Story: ironically regressive. Whether a result of minimal information directly from Florence Baker, the nominal subject of To the Heart of the Nile , or an intentional tool used by author Pat Shipman to reflect the oppression of women in Florence’s time, the work is written in complete yield to Samuel Baker, Florence’s husband and fellow explorer.
