摘要：The volume at hand is introduced with the promise to be the first collection of essays—for Sudan or even North Africa—to intersect issues of identities, mobilities and technologies under the heading of knowledge production. The authors engage in a range of writing styles and text structures, from autobiography (Abdel Halim) and an edited interview transcription (Fábos and Alsarah) over conceptual assessment reports (Elsony, Hassanain and Sithole) to rather conventional ethnographic narratives (Boddy) and argumentative texts (El-Battahani). This corresponds to the authors’ assorted backgrounds, listed in the foreword as “anthropologists, musicians, historians, political scientists, lawyers, gender studies scholars, technologists, agrarian economists, and health specialists” (p. ix).
