It stands in stark contrast to the dominant simplification and distortions which have come to typify presentations of the region. Central to the book is an unapologetic explanation of Arabization; which often is portrayed as individual choices of religious loyalty, but, in fact, masks an intentional power-system which viciously corrupts Afrikan identities. By highlighting the detrimental complexities of manipulation, geopolitics, identity confusion and cultural imperialism, Hashim has not only written an authoritative book about Sudan, but also presented a comprehensive case study that all of Afrika must learn from. Rarely are we presented with such a vigourous inside-view to an area of Afrika which once was held in the highest civilizational esteem, but has been reduced to an ideological field of Arab-led terror, massacres and disintegration. 606 $aCivilization$xArab influences 606 $aCivilization$xIslamic influences 607 $aSudan$xPolitics and government 607 $aSudan$xHistory$y1821- 607 $aSudan$xCivilization$xIslamic influences 607 $aSudan$xCivilization$xArab influences 615 0$aCivilization$xArab influences. 615 0$aCivilization$xIslamic influences. 676 $a320.962404 700 $aHashim$b M.
