Description
This text consists of articles from Israeli academics familiar with the Russian, Ethiopian and Bedouin people of the Negev. The editors have organized the work to juxtapose the contributions in a way that will generate comparative insights that exclusive volumes on any one group of people would not achieve. The book is a "photo-documentation" and includes approximately 100 colour and black and white photographs by Ron Kelley, a noted professional photographer. The documentation of people in social and cultural transition has emerged from this collaborative work.
