Akuch Kuol Anyieth is a graduate researcher completing a PhD in the discipline of Crime, Justice and Legal Studies at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Her research interests broadly cover masculinity, domestic violence, and the law. She has a Bachelor of Legal Studies, Master of Justice and Criminology, and Master by Research. Her work weaves together South Sudanese customary laws, pre-post migration experiences of South Sudanese families and their adaptation of the western rules of law in the diaspora. She has worked within the criminal justice system, government organisations and non-government organisations for the last 10 years. Akuch's work, lived experience, and research reveals many issues that face South Sudanese families that are often not included and rarely considered within family violence studies. Akuch's unique position as a South Sudanese woman writing about South Sudanese challenges in the diaspora brings an original contribution to existing literature on family violence and South Sudanese traumatic history. The many dimensions that contribute to experiences of family crisis (violence in families) including the historical context of South Sudanese men pre-and post-migration are core discussion points in this book. South Sudanese Manhood and Family Crisis in the Diaspora illuminates the past, critiques the present and offers an unequalled vision for a way forward into the future.

This book is about the genesis and struggle of the people of Southern Sudan in order to be free to determine their destiny as symbolized by the armed struggle against the Sudanese government. It follows the development of the freedom fighters from small groups fighting in their localities, through to the coalescence into the Anya-Nya in 1963 and up to the unity of command in 1970. It also deals with how the Simba rebellion in the Congo contributed towards the acquisition of arms by the rebels. The role of the state of Israel in supporting the struggle is also dealt with. The book considers as well the impact of the developments of events in Khartoum and the changes of the governments there in the period 1958 -1972 on the struggle of the Anya-Nya. The basic information used in writing the book was provided by many of the leaders who led this struggle including officers who took part in some of the military engagements covered. The book is therefore an important contribution to the history of the Anya-Nya in Southern Sudan based on information from eye-witnesses and actors in the struggle.

It belongs to the Niloticfamily of languages that includes Nuerand Shilluk. The book examines someaspects of Dinka phonology. Phonologyis a branch of linguistics which studieslanguage sound.The second part of the book handlesthe definition of " breathiness" and itsrole in the language.Part three investigates the role ofvowel's length and central vowels.According to Professor Job Malou, investigations show that breathiness inDinka is distinctive and that there are 78distinctive vowels.Linguists such as A. Trucker, Bryanand Welmers who have studied WesternNilotic Languages, pointed out theexistence of seven vowel contrasts.However, Trucker and Bryan (1948), recognised the complicated nature ofDinka vowels system. They pointed outthe existence of seven vowel contrasts.Welmers find Wilson's tentativeanalysis of the Dinka vowel systemtogether with its morphological operatingremarkable.The review discusses the presence ofboth "breathy" and non-breathy" voice inpronunciation of vowels, diphthongs andsemi-vowels. Tone, vowel system andsyllable are included in the discussion.Furthermore, compounding, wordformation, cattle name prefixes andreduplication are tackled at length inchapters four and five respectively.Reduplication is a repetition of all orsome parts of a stem word that mostlyforms abstract nouns.Investigations reveal that theDinka nominal system involves manycomplicated rules. For that reason, the author recommends an in-depthstudy of all the Dinka dialects inorder for researchers to draw out clearmorphological rules governing the Dinkalanguage.Deng Akol Juach was born in Piom de Awan Village.

What Deng Bul is prepared to do for his fellow men is something that few of us would contemplate let alone aspire to. Arriving from South Sudan and settling in Australia, Deng was not one to simply thank God for his blessings and begin an easy life here. Almost immediately he began thinking of ways to help the poor, disabled and disadvantaged still trapped in a vicious cycle of neglect and poverty in his home country. He founded a charity, iHOPE, and began fundraising and encouraging others to help him in his endeavour. Yet, not satis∩¼ü ed with the rate of progress, last year Deng decided to undertake a walk from Darwin to Alice Springs to raise both awareness and further capital for his charity. Having completed it, he has now put together a booklet on his experiences, hoping it will promote iHOPE even more. I wish Deng every success with this project.” Dr. Dell Brand
