( Updated Edition With a New Preface Lila Abu-Lughod liv...)
Updated Edition With a New Preface Lila Abu-Lughod lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt for nearly two years, studying gender relations and the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. The poems are haunting, the evocation of emotional life vivid. But her analysis also reveals how deeply implicated poetry and sentiment are in the play of power and the maintenance of a system of social hierarchy. What begins as a puzzle about a single poetic genre becomes a reflection on the politics of sentiment and the relationship between ideology and human experience.

Anthropologist Lila Abu-Lughod lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt for nearly two years, studying the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feeling that violate their moral code. What beings s a puzzle about a single poetic genre becomes a reflection on the politics of sentiment and the relationship between ideology and human experience. A brilliant study of moral constraint and personal expression..detailed, immediate, and superbly composed. Some books extend discussions, others launch them. This is one of the latter. One of the most insightful and convincing works of person-centered ethnography in recent years. It provides a model of how contextual knowledge can be used to interpret personal experience in another culture. A superb and insightful analysis of oral lyric poetry and a major contribution to the study of culture theory, oral literature, gender ideology, and Midldle Eastern society
