TREK INTO NUBA MacKie. Anglo-Ägyptischer Sudan 40er Jahre Kordofan Afrika
TREK INTO NUBA IAN MACKIE THE PENTLAND PRESS, EDINBURGH 1994 1st Edition. 24 x 16 cm. x + 416 pp. HB/DJ The Nuba Mountains in Kordofan Province of Central Sudan are among the most remote locations in Africa, far from trade-routes and civilization. When Ian Mackie arrived here in 1942, his idea of Africa was firmly-rooted in the adventures of Livingstone and Stanley, and the stories of Rider Haggard. What he was to discover, as an Agricultural Inspector with an area the size of Scotland, would change his outlook forever. Undaunted by the hazards of trek, including scorpion stings and malaria, he set out to explore the remotest parts of the country, learning about the customs and rituals of an ancient people. Mackie got as close to the people of the Nuba Mountains as any white man before or since.
