Books by Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf

Examines the lives of women who have forged a new community in a shantytown on the outskirts of Khartoum, the largely Muslim, heavily Arabized capital in the north of the country. This book examines the way women's bodies are politicized by their displacement, analyzing issues such as religious conversion, marriage, and female circumcision.

In one of the first books devoted to the experience of Sudanese immigrants and exiles in the United States, Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf places her community into context, showing its increasing historical and political significance.
