The Upper Nile Province Handbook: A Report on the People and Government in the Southern Sudan (Oriental and African Archives, 3)

This account of one of the Sudan's remotest provinces provides the historical context for the early classics of British social anthropology. It contains descriptions of local life by some of the first British officials to become conversant in the languages of Dinka, Nuer and Shilluk - at a time when Evans-Pritchard's field- work had only just begun.
