About the book

Through the pioneering efforts of the famed British social anthropologist E. E. Evans Pritchard, the Nuer of Southern Sudan have become one of anthropology’s classic case studies. Now Sharon Hutchinson combines fresh ethnographic evidence and contemporary theoretic perspectives to show not only what happened to the Nuer since their 1930s encounter with Evans Pritchard but, more importantly, what is to be gained from thoroughly historicized treatment of ethnographic materials.
