Description
The companion volume to MacMichael's landmark 1922 study, consisting almost entirely of native Sudanese manuscripts — tribal genealogies and historical treatises of the Ga'aliin, Guhayna, and other peoples — translated into English for the first time, with MacMichael's introductory notes on each. A unique primary-source record of how Sudanese tribes themselves recorded their own descent and history. Volume 2 of 2.
Author: H. A. MacMichael, D.S.O., Sudan Political Service
Genre: History / Ethnography / Reference
Excerpt
The native manuscripts of the Sudan here translated fall into four classes: pedigrees of the Ga'aliin, pedigrees of the Guhayna, pedigrees of various other tribes, and more general historical treatises. Fuller details than those given in the list will be found in each case in the form of introductory notes to the translations themselves.
