Conflict of National Identity in Sudan
This study addresses the contemporary conflict of national identity in Sudan between the adherents of «Islamic nationalism» and those of «customary secularism». Diverse theoretical models for the formation of a nation-state are considered, where diversity is not discouraged, but states apply laws to promote religious and ethnic diversities.
