Becoming Plural

Richard Boggs first came to Sudan as a volunteer in 1986. He has very much lived among the Sudanese. His is not a life lived with expats and diplomats the warriors of the White Nile; the Nubian wrestlers of Korfan; the camel suqs; the rickshaw drivers of the capital; the ferrymen taking the last ferries across the Nile just as the new bridges make them redundant this is the world he records.Richard Boggs has travelled from the extreme north of Sudan to the far south, from Kassalla in the east to Darfur in the west. He lived in the country as a volunteer in the late 1980s, teaching in the Islamic University, and has returned several times since 2006, becoming a regular visitor to the region. Written during a key moment in Sudanese history, this beautiful coffee table book contains over 100 never-before-published photographs.

RICHARD BOGGS has worked for over a decade in the Arabic-speaking world, teaching in Yemen, Lebanon and Khartoum. For two years he lived on one of the most remote places on earth: the Yemeni island of Socotra. His island experiences are published in his first travel book, The Lost World of Socotra (Stacey International, 2009). When not travelling he likes to cultivate his herbaceous border in Ireland.
