Abstract
With increased and more widespread labor migration, Nubian culture has confronted changes, including a decline in the number of children speaking Nubian as their mother tongue, losses of traditional customs and ceremonies, and the commercialization of their dance and music. This follow-up of a major early 1960s ethnographic survey underscores a surprising degree of continuity in Nubian culture and ethnicity. The discussion draws on theories that view ethnic boundaries as constantly shifting in response to larger national and global processes.
