Despite the radical social and environmental transformations and an uncertain future, the Manasir have tried to continue their peasant way of life and resisted relocating to state-run resettlement schemes. Rather than focusing on migration and resettlement, the author follows the people’s attempts to preserve their homeland and have meaningful lives along the emerging reservoir. The book grapples with the fundamental question of how to re-establish life in a world that is falling apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781805396239\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valerie Hansch","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46540818153722,"sku":"9781805396239","price":112.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1723235141598_book.jpg?v=1723379624","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-attempt-to-stay-dam-building-displacement-and-resistance-in-the-nile-valley-sudan-9781805396239","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
