Abstract The Libyan Bedouin are Arab people of tribal and nomadic pastoralist backgrounds who have ties to the Libyan Desert. This desert comprises the western part of the Egypt, where it is known as the Western Desert, and the eastern part of Libya. This file on the Libyan Bedouin consists of 14 documents and includes ethnographies which provide rich accounts and varying perspectives of Libyan-Bedouin culture and society. These works include Evans-Pritchard's historical and sociological analysis of the Sansusi Order, Emry's study of power in Bedouin society, Behnke's study of Bedouin political ecology, and Abu-Lughod's studies of gender and poetry. Other studies discuss sociopolitical organization and customary law. Three studies examine more recent changes in Bedouin society as a result of sedentization, intrusion of the state, and economic development.
