Dealing with Government in South SudanHistories of Chiefship, Community and State\nAuthor(s): Cherry Leonardi\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: James Currey, United Kingdom\nImprint: James Currey\nISBN-13: 9781847010674, 978-1847010674\nSynopsis\nExplores various aspects of chiefly authority in South Sudan from its historical origins and evolution under colonial, postcolonial and military rule, to its current roles and value in the newly independent country.\n\nSouth Sudan became Africa's newest nation in 2011, following decades of armed conflict. Chiefs - or 'traditional authorities' - became a particular focus of attention during the international relief effort and post-war reconstruction and state-building. But 'traditional' authority in South Sudan has been much misunderstood. Institutions of chiefship were created during the colonial period but originated out of a much longer process of dealing with predatory external forces. This book addresses a significant paradox in African stud.
