Extract

The modern history of the Sudan is here considered as beginning with the Turco-Egyptian invasion of a.d. 1820. From this date written records begin to be available in quantity, in sharp contrast to the pathetic scraps which have survived for the preceding Fung Kingdom of Sennar. This transition is indeed so abrupt that it is easy to over-estimate the extent and solidity of historical knowledge for the modern period. In fact, there are still large tracts where scientific historiography has yet to begin, or where at best a few exploratory soundings have been made; and much of the field has until very recently been dominated by rather superficial ‘general surveys’ often written with an eye to the current political situation.

66 Smirnov has been chosen because he seems to be a genuine historian (i.e., not an economist, ethnographer or geographer), and to have—unlike some of his non-historian colleagues—a competent factual grasp of modem Sudanese history. His most important works appear to be: Vosstaniye Makhdistov v Sudane (The Mahdist Rising in the Sudan) (Moscow, 1950); and ‘The Formation and Ways of Development of a Northern Sudanese People’, in the symposium Afrikanskiy Ethnograficheskiy Sbornik (Moscow, 1956).Google Scholar

67 He states, in a paper in the symposium Narody Afrika (The Peoples of Africa) (Moscow, 1954), that Sudanese resistance to British rule began with a ‘Club of Educated Persons’ ‘formed in 1918 when the October Revolution was giving an impetus to the independence movement in colonies’. The fact that this club had as its first President the (British) Warden of Gordon Memorial College suggests a less revolutionary origin and outlook. There are also some strange remarks about the Shilluk and Nuer, under the early Condominium, ‘[binding] themselves by contract to private firms, steamer companies and state enterprises’.
