Abstract

This is a review on a fieldwork undertaken among the Nymang ethnic community residing on the legendary Nuba Mountains of southern Kordofan, Sudan, in 2005. It is a result of participatory observation, and the view taken on it is retrospective. The author was able to study the social and cultural life, rituals, taboos, musical traditions, and many more, which are discussed in detail in a later book, thanks to her Sudanese hosts. The description carried out in the writing reflects personal perspectives as a human being, a woman, and a complete stranger entering an unknown and distant world. Indeed, it must have been one of the best experiences the author had in her nearly 3 decades of scholarly experience.
