Abstract
The paper examines the pressures being exerted by cultural and economic processes upon “African” cultures in the intermediate zone of the Sudan. It examines in particular the experience of the Ingessana and Uduk peoples living between the White and Blue Niles. The Uduk have experienced the greater degree of disruption from Sudan's civil war, and many Uduk have sought refuge in Ethiopia. The Ingessana are in the frontline facing cultural and economic pressures from the north. To pressures for Islamisation and Arabicisation have been added the development of chromite mining, mechanised agriculture and increased nomadic activity around their hills.
