Veiled Sentiments: Honor and Poetry in a Bedouin Society Paperback - 2016
by Lila Abu-Lughod
From the rear cover
"A fascinating, fresh interpretation of the mechanics of the twin codes of Bedouin behavior: the 'code of honor' . . . and the 'code of modesty.' The argument is compelling--it makes sense of honor killings, the veiling of women, and a seemingly excessive sexual modesty. There is a certain excitement here, as the pieces of the puzzle fall into place."--Inea Bushnaq, New York Times Book Review "A brilliant study of moral constraint and personal expression. . . . Detailed, immediate, and superbly composed. . . . Some books extend discussions, others launch them. This is one of the latter."--Clifford Geertz "A truly extraordinary book--beautifully and modestly written, remarkably insightful, consistently compelling."--Edward Said
