NUER FOLKTALES/RUAC CÄÄTNI NUÄÄRÄ will appeal to a diverse audience. First and foremost, Nuer men, women and children will discover a unique entryway into their rich cultural and linguistic heritage that simultaneously preserves it for future generations in two written forms, in both the Nuer language (Thok Nath) and English. This book also provides Nuer men and women living within their traditional homeland territories within South Sudan and southwestern Ethiopia with new tools for sharing their culture and history with neighboring people and the world at large. For the children of war-displaced Nuer refugee populations now scattered around the globe, this book offers new and entertaining means of deepening cross-generational channels of communication and understanding. For scholars and students of anthropology, African history and political science, it promises fresh insights into one of Africa’s most studied and most celebrated cultural communities. The 51 folktales included were edited by Fr. Christian Carlassare and belong collectively to the entire Nuer/Naath cultural community, and, by extension, form part of the diverse cultural legacy of all South Sudanese and Ethiopians and the wider world.
