Branding Humanity - (Stanford Studies in Human Rights) by Amal Hassan Fadlalla (Paperback)

Branding Humanity: Uncovering the Stories of Violence and Identity in Sudan Discover the powerful narratives of Sudanese activists and allies as they navigate the complexities of violence, identity, and belonging.

This groundbreaking ethnography examines how local actors contest and reclaim the stories of violence emerging from Sudan, and how they negotiate social exclusion and inclusion through their own identity politics and predicament of exile. With a unique blend of interviews with Sudanese social actors, activists, and allies in the United States, Sudan, and online, Branding Humanity sheds light on the varied and individual experiences of those affected by violence in Sudan.

The book challenges the monolithic international branding of conflict, revealing the clash and friction of master-narratives and counter-narratives circulated and mobilized by competing social and political actors. Through this thought-provoking exploration of identity politics and global affiliations, Branding Humanity offers a nuanced understanding of how national and transnational debates about violence shape and re-territorialize ethnic identities.

It also rearticulates notions of solidarity and global belonging, inviting readers to consider the complex interplay between humanitarianism and nationalism in the context of Sudan's ongoing conflicts. Don't miss out on this insightful and compelling exploration of the human experience in Sudan.
