Dr. Rebecca Glade

Rebecca Glade is a Research Associate in MISR and the Managing Editor of the Makerere Historical Journal. Her work engages with both Africa and the Middle East history, examining the politics and social history of post-independence Sudan. Her book manuscript, “Sudanese Political Movements and the Struggle for the State: 1964-1985,” analyzes the ways that opposition movements pressured the state to advance their political agendas in Sudan and points to how the state developed in dialogue with them. In the process, Glade engages with and draws upon histories of social and cultural movements, civil society, state-society relations, and labor. Her other recent work focuses on the beginnings of Sudanese Jazz and student activism in Sudan in the 1960s and 70s.
