In-Betweenness in Greater Khartoum

Miriam Forman-Brunell is a professor of history and Women and Gender Studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

“[The volume] offers a deeply grounded analysis of recent changes in the capital of Sudan. [It] instates Khartoum within the cities important to consider for the urban world in the making [and] provides a nuanced and complex portrait of a giant metropolis – the largest of the Sahelian region with its 7 – 8 million inhabitants…Exposing the changes, seen from the ground in various neighbourhoods and communities from the 2005 peace agreement to the 2018 Revolution, it introduces Khartoum as a place to think about the negotiation of a place to live by subaltern populations. It is significant to point out that this book brings together Sudanese and women’s productions that display young, new, original voices and research.” • Urban Studies Journal
