Arab. Bedouin of the Syrian Desert: Story of a Family

English

By (author): Megumi Yoshitake

Bedouins, who refer to themselves simply as Arabs (originally, Arab was synonymous with Bedouin), are nomads who live in the desert, mainly on the Arabian Peninsula, raising sheep, camels and goats. Unencumbered by excessive possessions, and without most amenities, including electricity and running water, they pursue their lives in peace, practicing an ethic of mutual assistance, devotion to family, respect for the elderly and self-discipline. What they may lack in material goods is compensated by their fulfilling and meaningful way of life. The cultures of the Arab world and the desert environment, depicted so vividly in T. E. Lawrences accounts of his experiences there, have long captured Megumi Yoshitakes imagination. But it is the ancient culture of the Bedouins that attracted the photographers deepest interest. Over the past seventeen years that interest has become a passion, as she has devoted much of her time to photographing Bedouin families in Syria: this volume tells their stories through pictures.
