{"product_id":"the-sudan-john-obert-voll-9781138211988","title":"The Sudan: Unity and Diversity in a Multicultural State","description":"\u003cp\u003eLittle known in the United States and Western Europe, the Sudan is nevertheless a country of major importance in international affairs. This analytic introduction to the modern Sudan, first published in 1985, provides a summary of the basic dynamics of the country's political, social, cultural, and economic life, as well as a general framework for interpreting the modern Sudanese experience. The authors present a clear picture of the Sudan as a distinctive entity with an identity all its own, revealing, however, that almost paradoxically one of the most significant aspects of that identity is the place of the Sudan as a special link between different cultural patterns and socio-political styles. The Sudan is both a bridge and a melting pot, and this provides the foundation of its unique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Obert Voll,Sarah Potts Voll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138211982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138211988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"John Obert Voll","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135880573183,"sku":"9781138211988","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_617282c3-1c3c-4ae5-a1f2-3f50d37c335a.jpg?v=1770159065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sudan-john-obert-voll-9781138211988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
