But they are completely different. The Nawar are Roma people, and they say they originate from India. They have a completely separate cultural identity and way of life: they do not work in livestock rearing or in farming, for instance, and do not practice pastoral nomadism or semi-nomadism. They also do not share the same poetry or music. Their Arabic is also different. Note that dialect or accent is very unifying: Bedouins of Lebanon speak Arabic in the same way as those of Yemen and Iraq, and very differently from the Lebanese villagers.Rami Zuraykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644937988631864952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163876234969175446.post-12079388690080749652008-11-02T14:15:00.000+02:002008-11-02T14:15:00.000+02:00MM: They seem to belong to various clans, not join...MM: They seem to belong to various clans, not joined within a tribal superstructure as the "Hashed" and "Baqeel" tribes of Yemen. There seems to be a class structure within them: the people I work with in the Bekaa referred to the semi nomads from Laqlouk as "not true Bedouins" and appeared to despise them, while they acknowledged the Wadi Khaled tribes as "true Arabs" although they did not know them. <BR/><BR/>They are now fully confined to the Lebanese bordersRami Zuraykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644937988631864952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163876234969175446.post-54720380312832925922008-11-02T12:20:00.000+02:002008-11-02T12:20:00.000+02:00Hello.Wondering: is this cultural group different ...Hello.<BR/><BR/>Wondering: is this cultural group different fron the "Doumaris" or "Nawar"? if yes, is there some kind of relationship (contacts, conflicts,...) between these two groups ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163876234969175446.post-89274331526669583132008-11-02T01:36:00.000+02:002008-11-02T01:36:00.000+02:00Do the Lebanese bedouins belong to a particular tr...Do the Lebanese bedouins belong to a particular tribe or sub-tribe?<BR/><BR/>Are they confined to Lebanon's borders or do they still roam the area?<BR/><BR/>MM.Ms Levantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099790210004715335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163876234969175446.post-48210519321483456342008-11-01T20:49:00.000+02:002008-11-01T20:49:00.000+02:00I am very glad you are doing this work.

And Lila Abu-Lughod studied Bedouin women in North Africa thirty years ago... is anybody furthering her work?Leila Abu-Sabahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161833022292457787noreply@blogger.com
