It belongs to the Niloticfamily of languages that includes Nuerand Shilluk. The book examines someaspects of Dinka phonology. Phonologyis a branch of linguistics which studieslanguage sound.The second part of the book handlesthe definition of " breathiness" and itsrole in the language.Part three investigates the role ofvowel's length and central vowels.According to Professor Job Malou, investigations show that breathiness inDinka is distinctive and that there are 78distinctive vowels.Linguists such as A. Trucker, Bryanand Welmers who have studied WesternNilotic Languages, pointed out theexistence of seven vowel contrasts.However, Trucker and Bryan (1948), recognised the complicated nature ofDinka vowels system. They pointed outthe existence of seven vowel contrasts.Welmers find Wilson's tentativeanalysis of the Dinka vowel systemtogether with its morphological operatingremarkable.The review discusses the presence ofboth "breathy" and non-breathy" voice inpronunciation of vowels, diphthongs andsemi-vowels. Tone, vowel system andsyllable are included in the discussion.Furthermore, compounding, wordformation, cattle name prefixes andreduplication are tackled at length inchapters four and five respectively.Reduplication is a repetition of all orsome parts of a stem word that mostlyforms abstract nouns.Investigations reveal that theDinka nominal system involves manycomplicated rules. For that reason, the author recommends an in-depthstudy of all the Dinka dialects inorder for researchers to draw out clearmorphological rules governing the Dinkalanguage.Deng Akol Juach was born in Piom de Awan Village.

What Deng Bul is prepared to do for his fellow men is something that few of us would contemplate let alone aspire to. Arriving from South Sudan and settling in Australia, Deng was not one to simply thank God for his blessings and begin an easy life here. Almost immediately he began thinking of ways to help the poor, disabled and disadvantaged still trapped in a vicious cycle of neglect and poverty in his home country. He founded a charity, iHOPE, and began fundraising and encouraging others to help him in his endeavour. Yet, not satis∩¼ü ed with the rate of progress, last year Deng decided to undertake a walk from Darwin to Alice Springs to raise both awareness and further capital for his charity. Having completed it, he has now put together a booklet on his experiences, hoping it will promote iHOPE even more. I wish Deng every success with this project.” Dr. Dell Brand

I’m Mamer Dau Thuch, the author of The Shadows of Wrath-Life Trials.I was born in South Sudan, a country known both for its extensive resources and its dangerous civil wars.Poor leadership has led to widespread fear in South Sudan.Civil wars have killed millions since 1983 and have forced millions more to ∩¼éee to neighbouring countries. Many more people have taken refuge in Europe, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and other countries across the globe. In 1991, I myself faced death in South Sudan. Conflict always made my life and safety uncertain, and I was exposed to the horrors of war at a young age. In 1991, the genocide struck the citizen of Bor, perpetrated by the Nassir faction. I was almost killed, and when I survived, I was left with nothing but my memories. I ∩¼éed to Ngalngala in Central Equatoria State, thinking that the war would eventually cease and that I would return to my village. But safety did not come, and I never saw my village again. I would be a refugee for the rest of my life. I do not believe that peace will prevail in my country in my lifetime, and I know that others who share similar journeys to my own feel the same way. I am haunted by the horrors of Bor’s genocide and by the trauma of the civil wars in my village and which I also faced in my country. The atrocities I witnessed in South Sudan helped me to understand the world and gave me my story to tell. My hope in telling the story of my life’s trials is that, should I live to marry and have children, they will read about my experiences and understand the history of South Sudan. I hope that my future family and my readers will learn what it means to be a refugee and what it takes to settle in a country so far from home. 

THIS BOOK FOCUSES ON THE ROLE of the SPLM/A in the negotiating process that eventually brought about the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005. It presents a precise description and explanation of the processes involved in the design and implementation of the CPA and its predecessor, the Addis Ababa Agreement (AAA), signed in 1972. It takes an interpretative constructivist approach to underline the importance of studying the process by which peace agreements are made, particularly the concept of 'learning by doing'. The book concludes that the process by which the CPA was achieved challenges the widely held conviction in conflict resolution theories that armed conflicts are ended when the warring parties have reached a stalemate or when international pressure is high. The Sudanese experience suggests that a true peace agreement comes when the parties mutually acquire confidence through social interaction in the negotiating process. It was the back-and-forth dynamic of 'learning by-doing' through negotiation that was as important as any rationally based deal reflecting costs and benefits. Through these negotiating sessions the belligerent delegations were able to build mutual confidence and trust and were able to reciprocate and adjust their positions; a clear indication that both sides were increasingly able to compromise on their positions – something that had been lacking when negotiations began. Continuous interaction between opposing sides is, therefore, a vital element in conflict resolution. During these negotiations and the ongoing interaction, they required, Vice President Ali Osman Taha and the leader of the SPLM/A, Dr John Garang de Mabior, developed a personal relationship to the extent that they learned to trust one another. The IGAD mediators ensured that the gains made as a result of this personal relationship between the principal negotiators would lead to the eventual success of the mediation process.

I was brought up in a foster home, when I was 9-years-old a Sunday school teacher came to our school and told us about Jesus. I was instantly attracted to His name and the Sunday school teacher said “Give all of your heart”. So I went to my Nanna’s that weekend and got on my knees and gave Jesus my heart. All turned to doom when I was abused by a step-dad, it crushed my faith and belief about myself. I grew to lead a sinful life and left home when I was 18-yearsold.  But something was tugging at me to know Jesus again, it was a beautiful, still voice. When I turned 29 I was sick of my sinful life and decided to join a church but I still struggled. I spent about 18 years in and out of mental hospitals but was still believing for a miracle. Finally my hospital stays ended as I drew closer to Jesus. Then I was diagnosed with breast cancer having two lumps. So I sat and read God’s word over it and  not long after this the Holy Spirit intervened and said your breast cancer is healed! Sure enough the biopsy was clear no more cancer!I have a very supportive husband and family who have seen me through my illness and been there for me. I decided I would put some uplifting  poetry in a book with part proceeds going to the needy. I now live for Jesus and have much to thank Him for. MY life is now Christ’s and I long to see others saved and to see the poor free and abused saved and to come to Christ.Michelle Lee Carter

Migration and settlement of refugees is something challenging many countries at different levels in term of services delivering to families and young people. Migration of refugees is very complex and often happens because of many reasons such as civil wars, regional wars, liberation struggles, uprising against oppressive regime. Resettlement is one of the better options for refugees to save their lives from hardships and conflicts.

The book covered some critical challenges and opportunities available for families and young people such as participation in sport, employment and education, connection with right people and right services."This is a timely book. Dr William Abur has meticulously documented challenges and opportunities of South Sudanese refugees in Australia. In doing so, Abur has successfully interweaved his personal accounts as a refugee, social worker and scholar with experiences and stories of his community. The analysis sheds some lights on experiences of African refugees in the areas of settlement, integration, employment, education, sport and racial relations. The book is an excellent read for anyone who is interested in the history, culture and contributions of South Sudanese Australians." Dr Tebeje Molla (PhD), Research Fellow, Deakin University "William Abur's book is an important contribution to the growing literature on the settlement of the South Sudanese community in Australia. A South Sudanese man from a refugee background, a qualified and experienced social worker in the field of refugee settlement, and an academic teaching critical social theories, Abur is uniquely placed in linking the experiences of his community with the academic literature.This unique perspective resonates throughout the book in the personal voice of the author as he carefully immerses his readers in the complexities of starting a new life in Australia at a time when multiculturalism is under threat and racism and discrimination are, once again, on the rise".
