- Summary:
- The Nuba are a linguistically and ethnically diverse people comprising more than a hundred distinct communities within a mountainous region in South Kordofan, Sudan. In contrast to most of their predominantly Islamized and Arabic-speaking neighbors to the north, the Nuba share a range of cultural and social features rooted in claims of indigeneity to the land, and in reliance on a combination of hoe-based agriculture, egalitarian ideology, and traditional religious practices. Over several centuries, Nuba people collectively have suffered a range of injustices, from racial discrimination to being dispossessed of their lands to enslavement.
