This book catalogues the roughly 63 Bari statues that are known today and offers a comprehensive overview of historical sources and current knowledge of the Egyptian Sudan that provide the context for these works, their use and stylistic diversity. This book places the collection of Bari statues known today in the historical context of the Egyptian Sudan, from the earliest contacts with explorers Joseph Pons d’Arnaud and Wilhelm Werne in 1841 to the final stages of the pre-colonial era described by Wilhelm Junker.

Thirty-five years later in New York, the youths responsible for the murder of a rabbi’s son are found hideously slain, covered. This new edition of Bari Wood’s classic The Tribe (1981) features a new introduction by Grady Hendrix and the original paperback edition’s cover painting by Don Brautigam.

The Bari people, who settled on the banks of the White Nile, remained closed off from the outside world until the dawn of the 19th century.
