The Bookseller
"An anthropologist’s critique of the pseudoscientific notions of race and ethnicity that have been adopted by the media to explain the Darfur civil war."
Grant Farred, Cornell University
“In this book, Abusharaf’s astute critical faculties are on full display. She uses a distinctive blend of incisive theory, political acuity, and personal narrative to challenge widely held presuppositions about this long-running conflict. Darfur Allegory once more affirms Abusharaf’s standing as one of Africa’s leading diasporic minds.”
Steven C. Caton, Harvard University
“By including verbatim Fur testimonials and Arabic texts translated and analyzed here for the first time, Darfur Allegory corrects and complicates the international press’s coverage of the conflict. Thanks to Abusharaf’s wisdom and courage in not oversimplifying, we see the complexities in the disputing parties’ positions and gain a surer footing to bring this heart-rending conflict to a peaceful solution.”
Tukufu Zuberi, University of Pennsylvania
“Full of innovative findings, Darfur Allegory is a masterful work for anyone eager to learn crucial lessons about the impact of intersecting levels of violence. Abusharaf successfully lays the foundation for reconsidering Darfur.”
