4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting book (but all material is reprinted),
By
This review is from: Nubian Ethnographies (Paperback)
This book presents a wide-ranging description of Nubian culture by juxtaposing reprints of 3 different works by the authors. The first section, representing a woman's observations of Nubian village life before relocation, consists of excerpts from Elizabeth Warnock Fernea's "A View of the Nile". Following that are excerpts from Robert Fernea's work from the same time period, "Nubians in Egypt: A Peaceful People." The book concludes with an update on Nubian culture in the 1980s from a paper given by Robert Fernea and Aleya Rouchdy and published in "Nubian Culture: Past and Present". If you have the original works, you naturally don't need this book. But for others, this book is a very convenient and succinct summary of several viewpoints on Nubian culture.
