Abstract: | This study of the Lafofa Nuba in the Sudan is a comprehensive analysis of a matrilineal Nuba group. The local processes affecting the economic and cultural survival of the Lafofa are presented in the context of the wider political history of the Nuba Mountains, and the position of the Nuba in Sudanese society. The fieldwork on which this study is based was undertaken in four periods: March-June 1979, September 1979-March 1980, April-July 1981 and March-June 1984. |
