“…Researchers are usually in agreement that the Hakamat belong to the 'nomadic Arab groups' of Darfur (Garri 26.11.2012/ Mohamed 2004. Other ethnic groups have women singers who engage in Hakamat-style activities, too, although the names given to these singers differ for each ethnic group (Connick Carlisle 1975/ Garri 26.11.2012/ El Fangry 13.08.2012/ Badri, Abdel Sadig 1998. A woman can become a Hakama either by being born into a family whose women have had the role before and receiving an education deemed appropriate for a Hakama, or because she has a talent for singing, composition, and guidance.…”

“…They composed songs and poetry that either praised or mocked the men in the group. Often they were called upon to compose and/or sing sentences in courts of law (Carlisle, 1975). Through their mastery of oral tradition, the Hakkama had the ability to make or break a man's reputation (Cunnison, 1966;Carlisle, 1975).…”

Ethnic boundaries and conflict in Darfur

Ethnicities

This article proposes an event structure hypothesis to study the ethnic dimensions of conflict in Darfur, Sudan. I construct a narrative that describes a sequence of four `event structures' to explore how ethnic boundaries transformed in Darfur during the period from the formation of the modern Sudanese state in 1956 through the regional wars fought in Darfur in the 1980s. I use anthropologist Fredrik Barth's influential `ethnic boundary theory' as a conceptual model to describe the historical interaction between ethnic groups. Barth's ethnic boundary theory is useful not just on its own merits, but because it was informed, in part, by examples provided by ethnographic work carried out in Darfur in the late 1960s. I propose the hypothesis that Darfur was subjected to four major historical changes that occurred between independence and the end of the 1980s, which further solidified and eventually militarized ethnic boundaries between groups and clans, who then began identifying themselves as `Arab' or `non-Arab'. I also look at the sexual violence in Darfur, by using `ethnosexual boundaries', Nagel's extension of Barth's original concept. Finally, I briefly address whether or not the conflict constitutes genocide. My analysis is meant to be a preliminary investigation that will hopefully inspire future empirical and comparative analyses.
