Book Synopsis Review of the ʻAnizah Tribe by : Gerald De Gaury

Download or read book Review of the ʻAnizah Tribe written by Gerald De Gaury and published by Ithaca Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald de Gaury served in Iraq and Kuwait from 1924 to 1941 as army officer, political agent and chargé d'affaires to the Iraq Regent. His writings on Arabia are well known, but this previously unpublished piece dating from 1932 is on a subject not usually associated with him, namely the Arabian Bedouin. It concerns the Iraqi branch of the 'Anizah, probably the most numerous of Bedouin tribes, so numerous that the Bedouin saying runs "Any enemy, but not the 'Anizah". The 'Amarat are less well documented than their Syrian cousins, the Rwalah. So it is interesting to see this "Review", which contains details of tribal divisions, sheikhly pedigrees, wells and grazing grounds, economic life, customs and language. The name of the Hadhdhal, the sheikhly line of the 'Amarat, is a name with a long history and still much respected in Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
