Sahara Man: Travelling with the Tuareg

Description

Jeremy Keenan travelled to Algeria looking for the Tuareg, the fearsome indigo-veiled nomads of the Central Sahara with whom he had lived as a young anthropologist. A possibility meeting set him on his method to the Tuareg traditional fortress, the vast mountainous area of Ahaggar, within the tracks of bandits, his tent pitched beside caves decorated with pre-historic paintings. Here he came upon that the Tuareg, who had learned to live to tell the tale as tourist guides after the horrors of Algeria’s war of independence, were now being starved out in their livelihood by the violence within the north. This vivid and interesting book takes us into the guts of the Sahara and into the lives of the Tuareg, into Keenan’s own past and into the fearful history and present day enjoy of Algeria itself.
