Amal Fadlalla's careful and passionate book should be read by all those interested in the operations of power and empire, and of belonging and citizenship in this new century.\"—Inderpal Grewal, Yale University \"This fascinating book shows how stories of ethnic suffering and sexual violence powerfully shaped public understanding of the conflicts in Darfur and South Sudan. These narratives simplified complex situations and mobilized 'affective violence,' fitting the violence into humanitarian frameworks of suffering victims but ignoring other critical actors, such as transnational Sudanese secularist activists. \u003ci\u003eBranding Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e provides valuable insight into the way human rights crises are made visible to global publics.\"—Sally Engle Merry, New York University \"Conceptually locating affective violence at the center of...humanitarian campaigns allows Fadlalla to make several important observations about transnational politics....\u003ci\u003eBranding Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e contains extraordinary detail concerning the many movements, organizations, events and activists involved in transnational Sudanese politics.\"—Mark Drury, \u003ci\u003ePoLAR\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Save Darfur movement gained an international following, garnering widespread international attention to this remote Sudanese territory. Celebrities and other notable public figures participated in human rights campaigns to combat violence in the region. But how do local activists and those throughout the Sudanese diaspora in the United States situate their own notions of rights, nationalism, and identity?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on interviews with Sudanese social actors, activists, and their allies in the United States, the Sudan, and online, \u003ci\u003eBranding Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e traces the global story of violence and the remaking of Sudanese identities. Amal Hassan Fadlalla examines how activists contest, reshape, and reclaim the stories of violence emerging from the Sudan and their identities as migrants. Fadlalla charts the clash and friction of the master-narratives and counter-narratives circulated and mobilized by competing social and political actors negotiating social exclusion and inclusion through their own identity politics and predicament of exile. In exploring the varied and individual experiences of Sudanese activists and allies, \u003ci\u003eBranding Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e helps us see beyond the oft-monolithic international branding of conflict. Fadlalla asks readers to consider how national and transnational debates about violence circulate, shape, and re-territorialize ethnic identities, disrupt meanings of national belonging, and rearticulate notions of solidarity and global affiliations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Violence Narratives and the Cultural Politics of Identity\u003cbr\u003e  1.
