This description of the political system of the Anuak is part of the results of two expeditions by the author to East Africa in 1940. Although Anuak country had been visited in 1855 by the Maltese Andrea Debono and Philippe Terranuova D'Antonio and by several other European travellers thirty to forty years ago, the Italian Bottego (1897),the French missions under De Bonchamps (1897) and Faivre {1898),Wellby (l899), Austin (1900), the German Oscar Neumann (1901), and the MacMillan Expedition (1904),practically nothing was known about the Anuak when the Government of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan began to administer the whole of their country in 1921, this book seeks to change that.

The second volume of the bestselling landmark work on the history of the modern state Writing in The Wall Street Journal, David Gress called Francis Fukuyama's Origins of Political Order "magisterial in its learning and admirably immodest in its ambition." In The New York Times Book Review, Michael Lind described the book as "a major achievement by one of the leading public intellectuals of our time." And in The Washington Post, Gerard DeGrott exclaimed "this is a book that will be remembered. Bring on volume two." Volume two is finally here, completing the most important work of political thought in at least a generation. Taking up the essential question of how societies develop strong, impersonal, and accountable political institutions, Fukuyama follows the story from the French Revolution to the so-called Arab Spring and the deep dysfunctions of contemporary American politics. He examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others. And he boldly reckons with the future of democracy in the face of a rising global middle class and entrenched political paralysis in the West. A sweeping, masterful account of the struggle to create a well-functioning modern state, Political Order and Political Decay is destined to be a classic.

In 2011, South Sudan became independent following a long war of liberation, that gradually became marked by looting, raids and massacres pitting ethnic communities against each other. In this remarkably comprehensive work, Edward Thomas provides a multi-layered examination of what is happening in the country today. Writing from the perspective of South Sudan's most mutinous hinterland, Jonglei state, the book explains how this area was at the heart of South Sudan's struggle. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and a broad range of sources, this book gives a sharply focused, fresh account of South Sudan's long, unfinished fight for liberation.

Anywaa: The Luo of Western Ethiopia unfolds the impacts of colonial borders which put the Anywaa indigenous at the verge of extinction. This book sheds light on the heinous crimes committed against the Anywaa because of their fertile land rich in natural resources. It explores the dark chapters of Anywaa history under two powerful empires: colonial British Sudan and the Abyssinian Empire. The Anywaa fought multiple wars with the British colonials in Sudan to protect their territorial boundaries and resisted colonization. The expanding Abyssinian Empire during the reign of King Menelik II posed a threat to the Anywaa kingdoms and their territorial autonomy. Thus the Anywaa resisted the expansion of the Abyssinian Empire and slavery. This book brings to light slavery in Ethiopia; it describes the impact of the socialist Derg government on the Anywaa kingdom; and it covers the genocide the government of Ethiopia committed against the Anywaa people under the TPLF leadership, which was followed by land grabbing, displacement, and continued oppression.

In considering how anthropologists have chosen to look at and write about politics, Joan Vincent contends that the anthropological study of politics is itself a historical process. Intended not only as a representation but also as a reinterpretation, her study arises from questioning accepted views and unexamined assumptions. This wide-ranging, cross-disciplinary work is a critical review of the anthropological study of politics in the English-speaking world from 1879 to the present, a counterpoint of text and context that describes for each of three eras both what anthropologists have said about politics and the national and international events that have shaped their interests and concerns. It is also an account of how intellectual, social, and political conditions influenced the discipline by conditioning both anthropological inquiry and the avenues of research supported by universities and governments. Finally, it is a study of the politics of anthropology itself, examining the survival of theses or schools of thought and the influence of certain individuals and departments.
