Dżuba – ośrodek kultur i konfliktów. Przemiany etniczności w powojennym Sudanie Południowym
Juba – a centre of culture and conflict: transformation of ethnicity in post-war south Sudan

Summary/Abstract: Juba, the capital of autonomous South Sudan, is becoming a regional metropolis. After the civil war ended in 2005, there was a flood of migration into the city. Juba is already a city of various cultures, as well as numerous conflicts in which ethnic groups are often involved, but is now involved in a kind of experimental urban ground for interrelationships between different ethnicities in post-war South Sudan. This article presents the complex processes of transformations of identity in this part of Africa as seen from the perspective of the municipal, religious and trade centres. Moreover, the author attempts to analyze in detail what happens to ethnicity when this transition took place in Juba. The presented material comes from the author's field work done in South Sudan in 2007 and 2008, financed with the grant obtained from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
