In the past sheep-rearing was the main means of existence for most
Bedouin. Today it is developing in a new direction. For some it is
as important as ever, for others it has become only a subsidiary
source of income and a safeguard against economic instability. This
volume looks at the effects social, political and economic change
has had upon the traditional livelihood of the Negev Bedouin. The
author considers how, despite all the problems encountered - such
as the expropriation of land by the authorities and the demolition
of authorized dwellings - sheep-rearing is still considered to be
essential and worthwhile for almost all households. Co-operation
between the owners of flocks, shepherds, food suppliers and
government officials is essential in the determination of grazing
areas and pastoral arrangements. These varied interest groups
ensure that sheep-rearing continues to occupy an important place in
the Bedouin's cultural identity and the flock remains a unifying
factor for the Bedouin family and Israeli society.
