Lost Nationalism

Revolution, Memory and Anti-Colonial Resistance in Sudan

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"The 1924 Revolution was a watershed in Sudanese history, the first episode of anti-colonial resistance in which a nationalist ideology was explicitly used, and part of a global wave of anti-colonial movements after the First World War that can be seen as the "spring of the colonial nations". This detailed account of the uprising, and its eventual failure, explores the cosmopolitan nationalism embraced by the White Flag League, the movement that sparked the revolution, and the way in which this episode reveals deeper questions relating to origins, social hierarchies and power."--Back cover.
