Synopsis: Ethnic Groups of Africa and the Middle East contains encyclopedic entries
arranged alphabetically within ethno-linguistic classifications. Each entry has four
main sections: an introduction identifying the language group, where they are found,
and their numbers; a brief discussion of their origins and early history; a section
on cultural life that includes religion, literature, social organization, and art;
and a final section on political organization and recent history. The contents are
appropriate for high school and undergraduate students as well as for experts who
need a refresher on groups in Africa and the Middle East. While certain ethnic groups
have been combined into a single entry, some - such as the Tuareg, who are a Berber
people - are described within their own entries because of their importance in history
or cultural domination
