Rodd crossed the mountains of Aïr in the Central Sahara during most of 1922 with Angus Buchanan and T. A. Glover, and returned convinced that neither the Tuareg nor their country had been properly studied. The result is a full portrait of the veiled nomads: their origins and history, tribal organisation, the place of women, dress, script, ornament, warfare and caravan life.
A landmark English study of the Tuareg, for readers drawn to the Sahara and its peoples. Download the free EPUB.
