| Abstract: | This volume on anthropology in the Sudan is divided into three parts. The three chapters in the first part deal with the historical development of anthropology in the Sudan. The four chapters in the second part address how anthropology has been applied in the study of social change and development. The last two chapters question the methodology, depth and analytical rigour in anthropological research vis-à-vis its validity as applied to the socioeconomic setting of the Sudan. Each chapter sheds light on the way anthropology has progressed in studying rural communities in the country. The history of the discipline, the role of its practitioners in generating knowledge and their departure from the ideological premise on which anthropology was built during colonial times is the substance of the essays. Seven of the ten chapters are by Abdel Ghaffar M. Ahmed; one chapter each is contributed by Munzoul Abdalla M. Assal, Mohamed Abdelrahim Mohamed Salih, and Idris Salim al-Hassan.
