Feasting on Famines Food Insecurity and the Making of the Anglo
Feasting on Famines Food Insecurity and the Making of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, 1883-1956 Steven Serels Department of History, McGill University, Montreal April 2012 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Steven Serels 2012 Abstract The cycle of famine and food insecurity that afflicted much of Northern, Central and Eastern Sudan in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was part of an inter-generational process that fundamentally altered indigenous economic, political and social structures and, in so doing, allowed British imperial agents to conquer the Sudan and, subsequently, to seize key natural resources, including the Nile and fertile regions in the Jazira and Eastern Sudan. This cycle was triggered by British military policies pursued in the 1880s to contain the Mahdist Rebellion (1883-1898). These policies eroded the food security of indigenous communities in Dunqula, Eastern Sudan and the Red Sea Hills and precipitated a series of famines that destabilized the Mahdist state. Though British-led forces were unaffected by these nineteenth century food crises, the British-controlled Anglo-Egyptian government was, in the years following its establishment in 1898, weakened by a prolonged period of food insecurity during which indigenous communities exerted their right to control their slaves, land and produce. Subsequent innovations in the colonial economy, notably the development of a common grain market, precipitated a number of early twentieth century famines that impoverished many indigenous communities and, thereby, prevented indigenous resistance to state efforts to develop Sudanese resources for the benefit of British industry.

Precolonial Beja: a Periphery at the Crossroads GUDRUN DAHL Stockholm University, Sweden & ANDERS HJORT-AF-ORNAS Linkoping University, Sweden
Nordic Journal of African Studies 15(4): 473–498 (2006) Precolonial Beja: A Periphery at the Crossroads GUDRUN DAHL Stockholm University, Sweden & ANDERS HJORT-AF-ORNAS Linkoping University, Sweden ABSTRACT The Beja, or Bedawiye, people speaking the Northern Cushitic language called “Bedawiet”, have literally since “time immemorial” occupied the Eastern deserts of Sudan, Egypt and possibly Eritrea. They today consist of the subgroups Ababda, Bishariin, Atmaan/Amar´ar, Hadendowa and sections of the Beni Amer. These subgroups are relatively loosely integrated confederations of endogamous lineages based on assumptions of shared descent and cohabitation in an ancestral territory. In this hot and arid land, where there is little evidence of large-scale climatic change the last 2500 years, they have eked out a livelihood presumably originally as hunters of wild game and gatherers of wild grain, later as herders of small stock in the drier areas and of cattle in the delta lands, combining pastoralism with some take-a- chance cultivation. Some centuries after Christ they also acquired camels and became mounted brigands, guides and sycesin relation to the caravan trade. The present paper is an attempt to trace what can be said about the way larger context of empires, trade routes and security impinged on their lives in pre-colonial times. Keywords: climatic change, Beja, pastoralism, caravan trade, Eastern deserts 1.

Funkhouser (Fellows Advisor) (Executive Director) April 2006 Major: English iii ABSTRACT Solving Slavery in Sudan: Solving a Social Problem Through Nation Building (April 2006) Brandon Krueger Department of English Texas A&M University Fellows Advisor: Dr. Finnie Coleman Department of English Almost unique in the world, chattel slavery persists in Sudan into the 21st century. The U.N. and various NGOs have provided evidence that slavery exists in modern Sudan and that the government has done little, if anything, to stop it. The efforts of NGOs to stop slavery have largely failed, and perhaps even fueled the slave trade by paying to free slaves, which created a market for them. This thesis examines the complex history of Sudan that led to 2006, analyzes modern abolishment efforts to discover why they have failed, and develops a solution based on a Nations’ “Hierarchy of Needs” that can be applied in Sudan and is practical on political, economic, and cultural levels.
