DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\n\nIn the late nineteenth century\, the population o
 f\nNorthern Nilotic Sudan collapsed leading to a radical\nreorganization o
 f agricultural production and a redefinition of\ngender roles in the regio
 n. A system of production that employed\nmale slaves to produce surpluses 
 of grain for market became a\nsystem in which free women produced just eno
 ugh for their own\nsubsistence. This presentation will locate the causes o
 f this\ncollapse in British policy in the region. Following the ‘Urabi\nre
 volt (1882)\, British advisors required the Turko-Egyptian\ngovernment to 
 implement a number of administrative and budgetary\nreforms. This policy f
 orced the government to cease financially and\nmilitarily supporting the i
 ndigenous communities of Northern\nNilotic Sudan who were actively opposin
 g the invading Mahdist army.\nRather than confront their enemy without gov
 ernment support\, tens\nof thousands of indigenous agriculturalists abando
 ned their land\nand sought refuge in Egypt. The ensuing spiral of declinin
 g\nagricultural productivity lasted until the British-led re-conquest\nin 
 1896 and structured indigenous resistance to and collaboration\nwith Briti
 sh imperial designs.\nAbout the Speaker\nSteven Serels is a PhD candidate 
 in the Department of History\nand Classical Studies at ������.\n
