In 1973, during the one year anniversary celebrations of the Addis Ababa Agreement which had ended Sudan's first civil war (1955-1972) and granted autonomy to the southern region of Sudan, Dr. Francis Mading Deng, himself the son of the Ngok Dinka Paramount Chief, sat with other Dinka chiefs in Juba and recorded their conversations - the first oral history collection by a Southern Sudanese. The Agreement had granted Southern Sudan regional autonomy and hailing the achievement of peace, they spoke of their concerns and questions for the future. Would Arab and Dinka become one and live together in peace? Should inter-marriage be accepted and encouraged? What will become of the government and the future of the country? Would Chiefs continue to play their traditional role or would their leadership be replaced by the newly-emerging educated class - which Dr. Deng, as the first Southern Sudanese to gain a PhD, was a leading member of? These Chiefs also spoke of the ancient past; sharing stories of creation, ancestors and migration and the recent past; of oppression, slavery and war and the spiritual and cultural beliefs of their cattle-centered culture. From these recordings came two extraordinary books. Africans of Two Worlds: The Dinka in Afro-Arab Sudan in 1978, reissued as The Changing World of the Dinka. In 1980, Dinka Cosmology, followed - now reissued as Dinka World View: The Wisdom of the Elders. These seminal works were ground-breaking; not only marking a critical moment in one of the many African struggles for cultural, political, religious freedoms and survival, but in giving voice to oral cultures and their esteemed elders. In the 21st century, these books have lost none of their power and are critical reading for anyone interested in African history and South Sudan's long struggle for independence. However, what makes these two books really stand out, is the way they captured the Chiefs recognition that their culture was changing. Not only had war introduced a new period of governance, but that the spoken word was being replaced by the written word - and the future was uncertain.

Singing is very popular among the Dinka. With ox songs, although the practice may now be dying, every man is traditionally supposed Singing is very popular among the Dinka. With ox songs, although the practice may now be dying, every man is traditionally supposed to compose his own songs. In that sense, every Dinka man is not only a singer, but also a poet. Other categories of songs in this volume are composed by experts. There are also expert listeners who play the role of recorders. The composer works on creating a portion of the song and when he feels that he has a completed piece, he calls on the listener to "Hold this". The listener then memorizes that portion of the song while the composer moves on to construct another portion. The process goes on until the song is completed. The institution of singing is rapidly being transformed. Songs are now being accompanied by music that is significantly influenced by external forms from the Arab North or the West. Just as people used to sing everywhere, one now hears songs being played in cars, sometimes loud enough to be a public entertainment on the streets, as cars pass by. The songs in this volume cover all aspects of Dinka life in forms that are rapidly changing. The Dinka and their Songs was originally published to much critical acclaim by Oxford University Press in 1973. It is now republished here, with a new Preface by the author, by Africa World Books, whose founder, Peter Lual Reech Deng, has made it his mission to record and preserve the oral history and indigenous culture of his people.

This seminal volume on the indigenous African Dinka group is a landmark documentation of a vanishing people in war-torn Sudan. World-renowned photographers Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith have devoted their lives to documenting the rapidly disappearing ceremonies and cultures of the indigenous people of Africa. In breathtakingly poignant images, they present a story that started with their first visit to the Dinka thirty years ago. Living in harmony with their cattle, the Dinka have survived years of war only to find their culture on the brink of vanishing forever. Where the White Nile River reaches Dinka country, it spills over 11,000 square miles of flood plain to form the Sudd, the largest swamp in the world. In the dry season, it provides abundant pasture for cattle, and this is where the Dinka set up their camps. The men dust their bodies and faces with gray ash--protection against flies and lethal malarial mosquitoes, but also considered a mark of beauty. Covered with this ash and up to 7' 6- tall, the Dinka were referred to as -gentle- or -ghostly- giants by the early explorers. The Dinka call themselves -jieng- and -mony-jang, - which means -men of men.-
