This Book covering a period from 5000 BCE to 1943 of Nuer History so Naath would be able to know their history. It contents the deeds of Naath ancestors from the past and how this great people has been done in ancient to modern time. The Book shall answer some questions of who are Naath identity, political and history. Clearly Nuer is a proudly independent Nation with a thousands of year's history since 5000 BCE until the era of imperialism and colonialism which came to an end in 1943. Before colonialism Naath were not part of Sudan until new political change occurred which was force by colonialism. Naath were not Sudanese by identity before scrambling of African continent by new colonial hegemony. Naath people were homogenous nation well-established since before colonization of Africa by seven European nations. This history is written because is very clear that people that has no written history always lost their ways and destined dream. Sudan and Southern Sudan is merely a newly adopted system of nationalism. However, Heterogeneity of Southern Sudan started later in 1947 by Juba's conference which considered by many as the beginning of new identity of South Sudan. 1943 marked the end of Naath state which pre-existing, after 30 years of war of struggle against colonialism by Naath. The Naath political struggle had caused Nuer colonial District commissioners to hold a meeting in 1943 before Juba's Conference for four years to create an independent state for Nuer. Nuer as people and National identity and language established their own nation called Rol Nath earlier before colonialism. Now is a right time to rewrite the Naath history to cover the period of important events started from 5000 BCE to 1943. The Book shall cover ancient and modern Nuer history. It means the Book shall cover a period of around two to three thousand years from 5000 BCE to 1943. This is the period in which Nuer were purely independent homogenous state with a separate political struggle. This is to teach Nuer children their own history to understand the deeds of their ancestors and feel proud of it. The Nuer history will not go wasted as it is part of world's legacy and history. We believe that the world's history is a combination of several civilizations because diversity is made up of differences. Our great Nation is about to lost its legacy and history which made them even confused. This great Nation called Naath people had survived several aggressions for thousands of years. Ancestors paid a lot of blood so that their glorious corpses are glory to next generations. For Nation to flourish its people must rewrite their history to control itself among other nations. With this piece of records, we tend to restore our actions in the past to boost our confidence on ourselves. This Book in particular is not meant to make anthropological studies or research on Nuer people as per collections by scholars during and after colonial time nor making analyses. It is intended to records history tells by Nuer themselves about themselves of what they have done in the past. Clearly, the intention of this work is to record Nuer's deeds from the last centuries to bring Naath's world back to life. There is a long history about to be ignore because of colonial history. The proudness of world's legacy is a collected legacies of different people and cultures. Generations that lost its civilization and history always got no direction of their own. There were a lot of actions done by Nuer for good numbers of years that weren't recorded for long period of time. In addition of ancient Nuer history, there is also more records by colonial administrators. Several scholars and colonial government officials did a substantial work later. Individuals that have done a great work were Evans-Pritchard, Percy Coriat, C. h. Jackson, Douglas H. Johnson, J. W. Burton and Lienhardt and Sharon Hutchinson.

Focusing on ethnicity and its relation to conflict, this book goes beyond sterile debates about whether ethnic identities are ‘natural’ or ‘socially constructed’. Rather, ethnic identity takes different forms. Some ethnic boundaries are perceived by the actors themselves as natural, while others are perceived to be permeable. The argument is substantiated through a comparative analysis of ethnic identity formation and ethnic conflict among the Anywaa and the Nuer in the Gambella region of western Ethiopia. The Anywaa and the Nuer are not just two ethnic groups but two kinds of ethnic groups. Conflicts between the Anywaa and Nuer are explained with reference to three variables: varying modes of identity formation, competition over resources and differential incorporation into the state system.

This book's 51 folktales belong collectively to the South Sudanese Nuer (Nath) people wherever they may reside. Each tale is presented first in the Nuer language (thok nath), followed by an English translation composed by Fr. Christian Carlassare. Michael Thilyang Gatkek and Peter Jur Gai collected most of the oral material on which this book is based. The book will appeal to multiple audiences of diverse ages. First and foremost, Nuer readers will discover a unique entryway into their rich oral heritage that simultaneously preserves it for future generations in two written forms. Secondly, the book provides Nuer men and women with tools for sharing their creative cultural and linguistic heritage with neighboring people in South Sudan and the world at large. For the children of war-displaced Nuer refugee populations now scattered across the globe, it opens up novel and entertaining means for cross-generational communication and understanding. For scholars and students of anthropology, history and political science, it promises fresh insights into one of Africa's most studied and most celebrated cultural communities.

Arlene Schuiteman has a lifetime of stories to tell. They ramble across the Iowa fields of her farm-family childhood, they settle into the one-room schoolhouses that nurtured her first years of teaching, and they sweep away to Africa, where her gentle hands nursed thousands. Sioux Center Sudan is the story of a missionary nurse's eight years on a tiny mission station in Nasir, Sudan, during the 1950s—the golden age of missions in America. There, Arlene faced immense challenges and yet learned to trust God in spite of the difficulties, including her unwanted expulsion from the country in 1963. Only decades later would she finally see the fruit of her work. Filled with fascinating details of intense medical situations, stories of God's faithfulness, and periods of deep and personal grief, Arlene's journal entries could serve as a chapter in any textbook on the history of medical missions. Arlene's story also intersects with those of other contemporary women missionaries including Elisabeth Elliot, Eleanor Vandevort (A Leopard Tamed), and Betty Greene, pilot and co-founder of Missionary Aviation Fellowship. Quotes from letters between these women are included in the book.
