Undoing a Revolution by Harry Cross

Undoing a Revolution by Harry Cross

‘Brilliantly analyses the links between national politics in Sudan and financial markets in the WestThe author excellently weaves together Sudan’s tumultuous realities, past and present. One of the most refreshing books on Sudan I’ve read.’

‘Cross’s persuasively written account foregrounds Sudan’s experience of economic shock doctrines, and exposes the role of there-is-no-alternative economists, international financial institutions and their state and corporate backers. A must-read for scholars and activists getting to grips with Sudan’s crisis.’

‘Undoing a Revolution makes a novel argument that Sudan’s democratic transition was undermined by international and domestic policymakers. A highly original work.'

‘A story of how sovereign debt, poor economic policy, external private creditors’ interests and the predatory nature of a shifting global financial architecture sealed Sudan’s postcolonial trajectory in perpetual subordination to outside interests.’

Harry Cross specialises in the economic and financial systems of contemporary Sudan. He has taught at Prince Mohammad bin Fahd University in Saudi Arabia, and the University of Liverpool. Currently working on the response to Sudan's civil war for the research charity Impact, he holds a doctorate from Durham University.
