Chapter 14: “Freedom, Peace, and Justice”. The Multiple Biographies of a Slogan: An Epilogue
摘要
Sudanese revolution can be looked at from the perspective of the words people chanted, shouted, and painted during their struggle for liberation. Embedding new values and linguistic forms or bearing marks of shared memories from other Sudanese revolts, these words craft a common symbolic space which becomes itself an actor in the construction of a collective subject and the reshaping of its revolutionary identity. This chapter drafts a vision of the socio-linguistic landscape of December Revolution, and focuses on its most famous slogan “Freedom peace and justice” and on the plurality of narratives about its genealogy and its meanings.
