1930234711930. Sudanese women children and men in village photo archive from the 1930s when Sudan remained under Anglo-Egyptian rule a colonial arrangement lasting from 1899 to 1956. Rural Sudan in this period was governed through "Native Administration" introduced in the 1920s which placed many local communities under chiefs and customary courts while British officials controlled taxation policing and regional policy. This small format photo archive of posed locals was likely taken by a western traveler for anthropological study and documentation. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 8 silver gelatin photos measuring 2.5" x 3.5" each. Women and girls carry baskets and bundles smile directly at the camera stand beside mud-plastered walls and pose with children held against their shoulders. Two boys sit inside a narrow wooden or metal container while a robed man stands alone in bright sun. The emphasis is intimate rather than official showcasing faces clothing hair head coverings jewelry domestic labor and childhood presence.<br /> <br /> The 1930s were also the years after the Gezira Scheme opened in 1925 when colonial Sudan became increasingly tied to cotton production irrigation and export agriculture. Sudanese communities were subjected to heavy taxation labor controls and agricultural policies designed largely to serve British imperial trade especially cotton production for overseas markets. Colonial administrators reshaped local economies through irrigation schemes transportation projects and systems of indirect rule that strengthened some local authorities while restricting political independence and contributing to deep regional inequalities that continued after Sudanese independence in 1956. Minor fading and edge wear; photos remain crisp and clean. Overall very good condition. These portraits sit apart from that administrative record preserving everyday Sudanese cultural life under colonialism. unknown

First and only edition of this extremely rare pamphlet documenting the first constitutional and judicial movements in the Islamization of Sudan started in the 1950s Sudanese society and government. "The judicial system of Sudan survived the transfer of power to the independent state with few changes. Independence did however bring to the fore conflicts which had been kept under the carpet during the Condominium. The nature of the constitution became one of the most contested issues. The Transition Constitution adopted 1st January 1956 Independence Day formalized a Westminster style of government but it was never meant to be more than temporary. The debate on the new permanent constitution took many forms. In a long memorandum Sheikh Hasan Muddathir the Grand qadi of Sudan i.e. the head of the sharia division of the judiciary presented the Islamist position".

1994BN34126Garnet Publishing Ltd 1994. 1994. Hardcover. 25 x 235 x 279 cm. The photographs reproduced in this book mainly cover the years between 1899 and the 1950s when the Sudan Africa's largest country was ruled by a nominal Condominium of Britain and Egypt. They comprise a pictorial record - however impressionistic subjective and incomplete - of an era. The authors have selected the 240 photographs in the book from the many thousands held in the Sudan Archive at the University Library Durham UK. The selection has been made with an eye to both historical interest and artistic merit. Consequently there is an emphasis on older photographs many of which are probably unique and less representation of the later years for which the photographic record is more extensive. This is not therefore a photographic history but rather a collection of historical photographs. Mainly taken by British officials and tourists the photographs emphasise British subjects. Although it is important to bear in mind that the British were a tiny minority in the Sudan and that their style of life there was exotic in the extreme it is nonetheless useful to see in black and white something of the way they lived. The photographs reproduced here record a broad span of human experience and achievement: events of historical or military significance feats of engineering and the daily life and recreation of the Sudanese and their temporary rulers.
