  • Sudanese literature consists of both oral as well as written works of fiction and nonfiction that were created during the cultural history of today's Republic of the Sudan. This includes the territory of what was once Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, the independent country's history since 1956 as well as its changing geographical scope in the 21st century. Even though there exist records about historical societies in the area called Sudan, like the Kingdom of Kush in Nubia, little is known about the languages and the oral or written literature of these precursors of the Sudan of today. Moreover, the notion of Bilad al-Sudan, from which the name of the modern country is derived, referred to a much wider geographic region to the south of the Sahara, stretching from western to eastern Central Africa. Like in many African countries, oral traditions of diverse ethnic or social groups have existed since time immemorial, but a modern written Sudanese literature can only be traced back to the beginning of the 20th century. Through the publication of written literature in Sudanese newspapers and books, as well as aided by formal, non-religious education, a modern Sudanese literature of fiction and nonfiction began to appear. Going back to age-old oral traditions, poetry and the lyrics for songs have been the most popular literary genres in Sudan. Just as other cultural expressions, literature reflects the hybrid identities of Sudan, that have been called Afro-Arabism by some scholars. In the 21st century, electronic media, which often rely on written texts and oral storytelling on video, connect people in Sudan with their compatriots at home as well as in the world-wide Sudanese diaspora. Some contemporary writers with Sudanese roots and living in other countries, such as Leila Aboulela or Jamal Mahjoub, write in English. Together with translations of original works written in Arabic, they have made fictional literature about Sudan accessible to an international audience. (en)
  • A literatura do Sudão refere-se a obras orais e escritas de ficção e não-ficção criadas durante a história cultural da atual República do Sudão. Isso também inclui o território do que antes foi o Sudão anglo-egípcio, bem como a longa e diversificada história desta área. Os primeiros e mais antigos registros existentes dos precursores da literatura sudanesa podem ser datados de cerca de 300 a.C e foram escritos na escrita meroítica. Esses registros históricos, como inscrições em arenito, testemunham os reis de Cuxe e as divindades da cultura cuchita no norte do Sudão. Durante a cristianização da Núbia no século VI, a língua cuchita e a escrita cursiva foram substituídas pelo grego medieval, língua copta e a língua núbia antiga, com textos relacionados tanto à religião quanto aos assuntos públicos e à vida privada. A partir do século XIV, o árabe tornou-se a língua principal na Núbia e, com a disseminação do Islã, se tornou a principal língua escrita e falada para assuntos religiosos e seculares em outras partes do Sudão. “Muito antes do romance e o conto se tornarem gêneros literários, a literatura sudanesa existia na forma de contos orais e poemas narrativos, muitos dos quais, até recentemente, eram transmitidos de geração em geração.", afirma o crítico literário Eiman El-Nossa, autor do artigo seminal The Development of Contemporary Literature in Sudan. Por meio da difusão da literatura escrita em jornais sudaneses, bem como por meio da educação formal não-religiosa no século XX e além, uma literatura sudanesa moderna de ficção e não-ficção em árabe começou a aparecer. Alguns escritores modernos com raízes sudanesas porém residentes em outros países, como Leila Aboulela ou Jamal Mahjoub, escrevem suas obras em inglês e, junto com traduções de obras originais escritas em árabe, tornaram a literatura ficcional sobre o Sudão acessível a um público mais amplo. A União de Escritores Sudaneses foi uma organização fundada em 1985 com o objetivo de promover a liberdade de expressão em uma sociedade multicultural e reunir escritores de diferentes grupos culturais do Sudão e da África. Foi dissolvido pelo governo militar de Omar al-Bashir em 1989 e só pôde ser revivido a partir de 2006. Após dez anos de atividades no contexto geral de repressão da liberdade de expressão, foi novamente encerrado em 2015, mas por decisão de um tribunal de recursos, a união conseguiu retomar as suas atividades no final de 2016.

  • In the Sudan, as in other Third World countries, an inherent respect for the spoken word has created an awareness of the intimate links between language, literature and social reality. This awareness of the intimate links between language and society causes the Sudanese writers' conception of literature to be more holistic than the view of his Western counterpart. It is believed that "Art" has always been in the service of man. (en)
  • In this collection most writers are rebels against the system or fighting a kind of existential war. [...] Third World artists during the decades of African independence from 1950 to 1970 were to assist the politicians in pushing for Cultural Revolution and independence, but after seeing how the politicians play loose with the blank check we gave them, it is high time the artists echoed the aspirations to democracy, respect for human rights and true nationalistic independence with emphasis on economic independence and welfare for us all. (en)
  • Here we find the tension between Sudanese society as it is and how it might have been and could, perhaps, still become. This is the tension between the present state of conflict — over resources, political power, and identity — and the nostalgia for a more harmonious past, or perhaps the aspiration for a different type of future.
