The Everlasting Tuareg People,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pastoral Tuareg: Ecology, Culture, and Society (Carlsberg Nomad Series) (Hardcover)
The book was extremely sensitive and informative. It gives insight into the strange and unknown world of another culture and society but at a more focused point. Also I found the book to be very interesting in its approach in teaching the reader as well as capturing the tone of what it means to be of a particular culture and how particular groups lives. The books helps us become more aware and sensitive to various cultures. As an American I find it to be very important for to be very aware because everyday the U.S. is becoming more and more diverse. Multiculturalism is apart of American history rather negative or positive. In any event, this book helps me do just that, become sensitive and respectful for others and their traditions and cultures. It is through various forms of information, like this book, that opens us up and exposes us to the unknown.
