Seraje Assi

The History and Politics of the Bedouin

Reimagining Nomadism in Modern Palestine

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines contending visions on nomadism in modern Palestine, with a special focus on the British Mandate period. It proves that nomadism was not invented by the British or the Zionists, but is the shared legacy of Ottoman, British, Zionist, Palestinian, and most recently, Israeli attitudes to the Bedouin of Palestine.
