Zusammenfassung:Anyone acquainted with historical writing on Darfur will know of R. S. O'Fahey's singular role in collecting, photographing, and archiving source materials, and of his several books and many articles. In commenting that the book "builds upon" (ix) his magisterial State and Society in Dar Fur (St. Martin's Press, 1980), and omitting mention of a similar connection to his and Jay Spaulding's Kingdoms of the Sudan (Methuen, 1974), O'Fahey perhaps overstates the originality of the present volume.
