Description

This absorbing account traces the history and traditional way of life of the Al-Dhafir bedouins of north-eastern Arabia, drawing on their oral traditions, Arabic historical annals, and reports from western travellers spanning two centuries. Originally published in 1986, the work documents how the Al-Dhafir emerged as a major desert power during the early twentieth century, controlling territory south-west of the Euphrates between Samawa and Zubair. Beginning their recorded history in the Hijaz during the early 1600s as a confederation of small tribes led by the Suwait clan, the Al-Dhafir navigated an eventful and complex history shaped by tribal politics, migration, and cultural continuity. This scholarly study offers readers an authentic window into bedouin society, heritage, and the historical forces that shaped one of Arabia's significant tribal confederations.

Key Features

Examines the Al-Dhafir as a major desert power controlling territory between Samawa and Zubair during the early twentieth century.
