Ideal for high school students and undergraduates, this volume
explores contemporary life and culture in Libya. Libya is one of
Africa's largest nations, but its topography is dominated by a huge
southern desert with some of the hottest temperatures recorded
anywhere in the world. Culture and Customs of Libya explores the
daily lives of the 90 million men, women, and children who struggle
to get by in this authoritarian state, where only a fraction of the
land is arable and 90 percent of the people live in less than 10
percent of the area, primarily along the Mediterranean coast. In
this comprehensive overview of modern Libyan life, readers can
explore topics such as religion, contemporary literature, media,
art, housing, music, and dance. They will learn about education and
employment and will see how traditions and customs of the
past-including those from Libya's long domination by the Ottoman
Empire and 40 years as an Italian colony-are kept alive or have
evolved to fit into today's modern age. Two dozen black-and-white
