Product Description
For centuries, the Bedu have herded their livestock across the inhospitable deserts of the Middle East, their scattered goat-hair tents the only signs of habitation in an otherwise barren landscape. In this stunning photographic essay, Alan Keohane sharply observes the details of nomadic life, from the everyday chores of cooking and collecting water to the more exotic tasks of weaving, moving camps, and celebrating feasts. The life of the Bedouin is rich in color and culture, but this book also shows a people struggling to maintain their age-old bonds with the desert and tradition in the face of the encroaching demands of the modern world. Alan Keohane's previous book was The Berbers of Morocco.
