From Desert to Town The Integration of

From Desert to Town sheds light on the sedentarisation and integration of Bedouin living in fellahin towns and villages in the Galilee, between 1700 and 2020. The purpose is to analyze the dynamics of the factors and circumstances that led to this migration. Official history has always lacked data on the Bedouin population in Palestine. Historians have recorded the biography of particular elites, and especially in the context of local warfare and tribal antagonisms, but have hitherto neglected ongoing migration from desert life to town life of Bedouin in the Galilee. The historical record is further complicated by the Bedouin themselves, who over time have been reluctant to register with governmental authority, whether Ottoman, British, or Israeli. This book brings together the available historical information combined with ethnographic data, from which it is possible to derive, analyze, and infer much information about Bedouin life in the Galilee over the past three hundred years.

Dr. Tomer Mazarib is a cultural anthropologist and social historian, specializing in the study of tribal societies in the Middle East, including the Bedouin in Israel, in their historical, social, cultural, economic, and political aspects. Dr. Mazarib holds a Ph.D. in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and an MA from the Israel Studies Department and the Sociology and Anthropology Department at Haifa University. He was a postdoctoral fellow at St Antony’s College, Oxford University.
