| Description: | The Sudanese working-class town of Atbara is the headquarters of the Sudan railways. Nicknames "City of Steel & Fire" by Sudanese workers, the town remains a major site of labour activism and radical politics. This book chronicles the struggles of railway workers against the Sudanese colonial and postcolonial governments. |
| Key Points: | Sikainga's text will interest Sudanese scholars, labour historians and students of racial politics. Based on numerous interview and extensive archival research, this book is destined to become the authoritative text on Sudanese labour history. |
