The Making Of The Badiya By Sahrawi Refugees Of Western Sahara
Gabriele VolpatoSeries: Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology(0)
About
The Sahrawi refugees in southwestern Algeria have struggled from exile for fifty years to reconfigure the animated desert they call badiya. They recovered camel husbandry and access to part of the former rangeland, and wove it back as seasonal nomadism. Desert Entanglements analyzes this process as an act of place-making premised on refugees' agency.
