This ethnographic study reconsiders the concept of tribe and its influence on group boundary‐making practices in South Sudan. The findings revealed ways in which students manipulated their group boundaries by giving different meanings to nominal category of tribe. Further, the study unveiled that, moving in and out from those boundaries, students live in a complex social reality in a postcolonial, conflict‐affected country of South Sudan.

“一个”但分裂：南苏丹中学生的部落和群体

这项民族志研究重新考虑了部落的概念及其对南苏丹团体边界制定实践的影响。调查结果揭示了学生通过给部落的名义类别赋予不同的含义来操纵他们的群体边界的方式。此外，该研究还揭示出，学生在这些边界内外进出，生活在一个后殖民，受冲突影响的南苏丹国家中，生活在一个复杂的社会现实中。
