The Miri society of the Nuba mountains in Sudan is a culturally unique and ethnographically important group--while they have been unusually receptive to a wide range of influences from the Muslims of northern Sudan, their strongly-felt sense of local integrity has by no means been lost. In the first detailed ethnography of the Miri, Gerd Baumann shows how this group exemplifies many of the processes conducive to the national integration policies conceived by politicians, planners, and the media for Sudan and multi-ethnic states.
