Undoing a Revolution

‘Brilliantly analyses the links between national politics in Sudan and financial markets in the West. The author excellently weaves together Sudan’s tumultuous realities, past and present. One of the most refreshing books on Sudan I’ve read.’ -- <b>Munzoul Assal, Senior Researcher, Chr. Michelsen Institute, and co-editor of <i>Multidimensional Change in Sudan (1989–2011)</i></b> ‘Cross’s persuasively written account foregrounds Sudan’s experience of economic shock doctrines, and exposes the role of there-is-no-alternative economists, international financial institutions and their state and corporate backers. A must-read for scholars and activists getting to grips with Sudan’s crisis.’ -- <b>Edward Thomas, Fellow of the Rift Valley Institute, and author of <i>South Sudan: A Slow Liberation</i></b> ‘Undoing a Revolution makes a novel argument that Sudan’s democratic transition was undermined by international and domestic policymakers. A highly original work.' -- <b>Alden Young, Associate Professor of History, Yale University, and author of <i>Transforming Sudan: Decolonization, Economic Development, and State Formation</i></b> ‘A story of how sovereign debt, poor economic policy, external private creditors’ interests and the predatory nature of a shifting global financial architecture sealed Sudan’s postcolonial trajectory in perpetual subordination to outside interests.’ -- <b>Raga Makawi, co-author of <i>Sudan's Unfinished Revolution</i></b>
