The Attempt to Stay: Dam Building, Displacement, and Resistance in the Nile Valley, Sudan
Valerie Hansch
The construction of the Merowe Dam along the Nile in northern Sudan flooded local villages and forced thousands of inhabitants to flee to higher ground. This book follows the Manasir people’s attempts to resist state-run resettlement schemes, preserve their homeland, and try out meaningful ways of life along the emerging reservoir.
