Description

"In 1982 the fierce,beautiful and drought-sticken Sahara was home for thousands of nomads. By 1985 it had become a waste land .' A Desert Dies' is Michael Asher's first hand account of living with the Kalabish tribe as they roamad across Sahara by camel, an area devastated by hunger, civil war and the blinkered indifference of politicians. Beginning as a brilliant piece of travel writing, recording the Kababish's everyday life and timeless traditions, it ends as a celebration of their generosity, hospitality and courage in the face of the tragedy of the Sahara, and the terrible prospect of extinction." 330p. plates glossary. index. Paper age toned.
