Select Condition 
Book Overview
The romantic, nineteenth-century image of the Bedouin as fierce, independent nomads on camelback racing across an endless desert persists in the West. Yet since the era of Ottoman rule, the Mzeina Bedouin of the South Sinai desert have lived under foreign occupation. For the last forty years Bedouin land has been a political football, tossed back and forth between Israel and Egypt at least five times.

I read this book in college, and it was my favorite of ALL of the ethnographies I've had to read. It was interesting and heart-wrenching and uplifting all at the same time. That's what the study of humanity is supposed to be about, right?
