Borderland dynamics in East Africa: cases from Ethiopia, Sudan, and Uganda

The volume is part of a project funded by the Norwegian Higher Education Programme (NORHED). The project of which this volume is part, borderlands dynamics: anthropological capcity building in East African Universities, brought together social anthropology departments at the universities of Khartoum, Addis Ababa, and Makerere. The articles in the volume are contributed by students and staff members of partner institutions from Ethiopia, Norway, Sudan, and Uganda and cover cross border trade, migration, cross border diseases and various aspects related to borders. Through empirical material, the volume provides fresh anthropologivcal insights into dynamics of the borders in the postcolonial African state.
