This file contains 23 documents. The major ethnographers of the Nuer represented are E.E. Evans-Pritchard (field work: 1930-1936), Douglas Johnson (1975-1990), and Sharon Hutchinson (1980-1992). Douglas Johnson's work is mostly historical covering the period of the Anglo-Egyptian condominium (1898-1955) with a focus on the role of prophets in Nuer social, political, and religious life. Evans-Pritchard describes Nuer ecology, subsistence, sociopolitical organization, kinship and marriage, and religion. Hutchinson examines gender relations; the trying period of the Sudanese Civil War (1955-present); and the changes to Nuer society and culture wrought by money, war, and the state.
