Abstract
The epilogue chapter moves beyond the traditional bounds of studies of international relations and diplomacy to explore how rebel discourses shaped the lives of ordinary Southern Sudanese rebels in exile. It shows that rebel discourses were not simply narratives-as-told, to evoke John Peel’s term, but they in fact, in important ways, defined the realities of rank-and-file Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) soldiers. The chapter argues that they experienced camp life in Ethiopia as a laboratory in which the “New Sudan” discourse was engaged and put into practice. It reveals that this new rebel narrative powerfully shaped the political subjectivities of the SPLM soldiers during the 1980s.
