Description

Explore the complex history of the Sudan through the lens of the Gezira region. In the Arabic language, Gezira translates to island or peninsula, a term found in many place names across the Arab world, including Algeria. However, in the context of Sudan, Gezira refers specifically to the massive expanse of land located between the Blue Nile and the White Nile. This book examines the irrigated areas of this region, which are primarily used for the cultivation of cotton, the most important export crop for the country. By focusing on this specific agricultural landscape, the text provides a deep look at how land use and irrigation projects have shaped the nation. Whether you are a student of African history or a researcher interested in Sudanese development, this work from Routledge offers a detailed perspective on the relationship between geography, agriculture, and economic history in the Nile valley.
