| Written by Peter Pigott. Published by Dundurn Press, 2009. Description: |
| An ancient Arab proverb states, "When Allah made the
Sudan, he laughed." Had he known the country's future, he would have done
better to cry. To most of the world, Sudan means Darfur and the tragedy of
atrocities and ethnic cleansing that has occurred there. Canada's first
involvement in Sudan was in 1884, when Canadian voyageurs were recruited to
help rescue General Gordon, who was besieged in Khartoum by the
Mahdi. Canada in Sudan introduces Canadians to this massive, troubled nation, telling the story from ancient times through to the modern era and the work of Canadian archaeologists and diplomats; aid organizations such as the Canadian International Development Agency; CARE Canada, Street Kids International, World Vision Canada, Fellowship for African Relief, and various church groups; and Canadian Forces military observers deployed to Sudan as part of Operations Safari, Augural, and Saturn. In these pages a remarkable variety of individuals tell how they have attempted to effect change in Sudan and how Sudan has profoundly affected them. Peter Pigott is the author of 14 previous books, including the bestselling Canada in Afghanistan: The War So Far. He lives in Ottawa. |
