Root causes of the "north-south" conflict in Sudan -- Conceptualizing refugee's conditions from feminist perspectives -- Conceptual framework -- Interviewing refugees in transit : implications on the research process -- Sociocultural institutions and laws governing the southern Sudanese society -- Sudanese refugees and challenges of life in Cairo -- Transformations and future imaginings -- Race, racism, and ethnicity in a refugee context |
| Summary |
This book examines the social, cultural, economic, and political transformations that have occurred among southern Sudanese women refugees as they experience life in Cairo, Egypt. It intends to show how these women use their newly acquired skills and knowledge to challenge their past and to challenge the image of women refugees as victims and dependents. The author counters previous literature's tendency to categorize these women as victimized, dependent and backwards, rather than recognizing their strength and contributions to their new societies |
