The book explores the political poetry recited by the Negev Bedouin
from the late Ottoman period to the late twentieth century. By
closely reading fifty poems Peled sheds light on the poets'
sentiments and worldviews. To get to the bottom of the issues that
inspired their poetry, he weaves an interpretive web informed by
the study of language, culture and history. The poems reveal that
the poets were perfectly aware of the workings of the power systems
that took control of their lives and lifestyle. Their poetry
indicates that they did not remain silent but practiced their art
in the face of their hardships, observing the collapse of their
world with a mixture of despair and inspiration, bitterness and
wit.
