Sudanese ethnicity in Cairo follows from the ambiguous political, legal, symbolic, and social position Sudanese hold in Egyptian society, suggests Fabos (refugee studies, U. of East London), but also interacts with other social identities, particularly gender identifies, derived from historical processes, such as Egyptian control of the Nile Valley and Sudanese resistance to it. She conducted her research in Cairo, where she lived for 10 years and where her husband's family is from.
