Very good, lightly creased with previous owner's name handwritten to the front top corner (George Harris). Reprint not recorded on Worldcat or Jisc. Elizabeth Bacon was Professor of Anthropology at Michigan State University. Here she describes different types of pastoral nomad, noting that until now that studies including her own had grouped them together. She finds the groups in South West Asia are highly diverse, compared with those in Central Asia. In SW Asia she covers the camel-breeding Bedouin of the Arabian Peninsula, southern Syria and Iraq who are mainly Sunni; the shepherd and goat tribes of the Tigris-Euphrates plains that use donkeys and camels to move their tents, who are mainly Shia, and unlike the Bedouin they are peaceful and pay tribute to the Bedouin for protection; the cattle and buffalo herders of the Tigris-Euphrates of whom little is known; the groups on the fringes of Central Arabia who transition between nomad and villager (she excludes caravaneers and camel traders who settled in Baghdad and elsewhere); and the Sulubba desert hunters who dress in hides and act as guides, tinkers, tattooers and prostitutes to neighbouring nomads. All these groups rely on interaction with settled peoples. In contrast, only one type of nomadism is to be found in Central Asia. This group is self-sufficent, breeding sheep, goats, cattle, and Bactrian camels for transport. It scorns agriculture, and regards the horse as symbolic of prestige and wealth. Noting the lack of archaeological and written record, she attempts to describe the historical development of each group in SW Asia, looking at agriculture, and the domestication of sheep and goats, cattle, and much later, camels. In Central Asia, development followed a different path, from woodland hunting to agriculture and the domestication of the reindeer and horse.…
