Summary:

"This book follows the lives of a group of Nuer in the Greater Upper Nile region. The narratives of those displaced and those who stayed behind reveal the complexity of social change and show how this has impacted on state formation in what is now South Sudan, and, in particular, the crucial yet relatively unconsidered transformation fo gender and generational relations."--Back cover.
