New Media and Revolution
The main argument put forward in the monograph New Media and Revolution: Resistance and Dissent in Pre-Uprising Syria by Billie Jeanne Brownlee is a cogent one that ought to be familiar to most readers more than a decade following the advent of the Arab Spring. In short, she offers that “digital technologies played a significant role in the organization and struggle” of the uprisings that spread across the Arab world in the early 2010s, and that …

Afterlives of Revolution
This volume, Afterlives of Revolution: Everyday Counterhistories in Southern Oman, seeks to accomplish several interrelated tasks. In essence, the goal is to capture and conceptualize past ideals and values as they developed and evolved in Oman's Dhufar region during the revolutionary era centered mostly in the 1960s and early 1970s. This includes an examination of the status of women, marginalized tribes, the former enslaved, and related subalte…
Living on Thin Ice
The Gwich’in Natives of Arctic Village, Alaska, have experienced intense social and economic changes for more than a century. In the late 20th century, new transportation and communication technologies introduced radically new value systems; while some of these changes may be seen as socially beneficial, others suggest a weakening of what was once a strong and vibrant Native community. Using quantitative and qualitative data gathered since the tu…

Urban tribalism
Historically, the tribe was a central pillar of Bedouin society. Recently, the forcibly resettled-Bedouin of Israel’s Negev Desert have experienced profound socio-economic transition and change in addition to spatial relocation. This paper offers a critical examination of the manner in which the tribe has served to inform top-down State-led urban planning, resettlement and housing policies while remaining a vital aspect of Bedouin life. We sugges…
Islam and Political Reform in Saudi Arabia
Neo-Polygamous Activity among the Bedouin of the Negev, Israel
Polygynous marriage among the bedouin of the Negev Desert, Israel, has gone through a number of phases over the past century. While historically, this practice was relatively rare, limited to wealthier sheikhs and tribal leaders, it has increased since Israeli independence (1948) as economic opportunity and social pressures have fostered its expansion. Two key historic changes in the region are seen to have played a role in the growth of polygyny…

Settling for Less
Settling for Less
The resettlement of the Negev Bedouin (Israel) has been wrought with controversy since its inception in the 1960s. Presenting evidence from a two-decade period, the author addresses how the changes that took place over the past sixty to seventy years have served the needs and interests of the State rather than those of Bedouin community at large. While town living fostered improvements in social and economic development, numerous unintended conse…

Bridging the Technology Gap
Using results from a three-year (2003–2006) National Science Foundation ”Partnership for Innovation“ project undertaken in Native Alaska, this paper addresses if and how Information Technologies (IT) can be incorporated into indigenous, geographically isolated environments in order to bring positive social and economic benefit to those who are often seen as the “victims,” rather than the beneficiaries, of economic globalization. Specifically, we …
Globalisation and development in a post-nomadic hunter/gatherer Alaskan village
Using data collected in the Gwich'in Athabascan community of Vashraii K'oo/Arctic Village, an examination of how the village has continued to develop and evolve as a native space since its initial creation in 1908, is presented. Data collected using a household survey in 2006 is compared with data that was collected in a 1999 survey in order to address and measure such issues as: the village residents’ economic standing and subsistence activities…

Urban Informality
New Identity/Identities Formulation in a Post‐Nomadic Community
Research conducted by the author in the mid‐1990s found that while the bedouin culture and lifestyle in Israel's Negev Desert has been altered significantly as community members were resettled in stone houses, surrendered their camels for automobiles and entered the wage labour workforce, an expressed ‘bedouin’ identity remained strong. Indeed, it was found that rather than integrate the bedouin into the Jewish‐Israeli social mainstream, coerced …
The politics of education provision in rural Native Alaska
In this paper, I address the role of educational service provision as a mode of post‐colonial assimilation and encapsulation in Native Alaska (USA). I argue that these services have historically served State interests above local interests, implemented with little regard for indigenous values or priorities. The role of education provision in one Alaskan village is then analyzed. By comparing the attitudes of non‐Native teachers with village paren…
Resettlement and Modernization In Post-Nomadic Bedouin Society
This paper evaluates the Israeli government's Negev Bedouin-resettlement program from the government's and the target community's perspectives. Using survey data gathered in one Bedouin town, the provision of public services by the government and their effective use by the Bedouin community are measured and analyzed. The effects of urbanization on the Bedouin economy and social structures— both positive and negative—are addressed. It is concluded…

Introduction: Heritage Tourism as a Virtual Experience The growth of tourism in the developing world over the past few decades has fostered a considerable increase in the frequency of encounters between tourists and native peoples. The literature is replete with discussions of the various social and cultural impacts which such encounters have fostered in the developing world (Boniface and Fowler 1993; Boorstin 1961; Cohen 1979, 1988; Dogan 1989; …

Special Education Use among the Negev Bedouin Arabs of Israel
This study takes the well-documented minority overrepresentation/ disproportionality debate a step forward by asking if, and in what ways, overrepresentation and disproportionality may be seen among a non-American minority group, namely, the Arab citizens of Israel. Statistical evidence suggests that Arab children are more likely than Jewish children to be diagnosed as retarded and to be sent to special education schools. But why? Moreover, Negev…

Social Adaptation and Welfare Planning in the Post-Nomadic Urban Environment
State planning to settle and to provide services for nomadic populations is a complex enterprise. In Israel, the government's efforts to plan, direct, and contain the Negev Bedouins' social development upon settlement has fostered both positive and negative changes in the new communal setting. Women, children, and the elderly have proven to be particularly at risk during the settlement transition period. Proactive efforts on the part of indigenou…
