Reviews

Offers a fresh perspective on Sahwari social organisation in the Algeria-based refugee camps bordering in the Western Sahara ... It also provides rich ethnographic descriptions which enable a tactile entry point into Sahrawi life in the camps. This is the book's real strength and demonstrates the author's fluency in critical refugee studies and anthropological literature ... A highly engaging book which gives a truly interdisciplinary perspective, built upon a skilfully written ethnography and offering a fresh analysis from 'inside the tent'. * Nomadic Peoples *
