The author lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt, studying gender relations and the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. This title reveals how deeply implicated poetry and sentiment are in the play of power and the maintenance of a system of social hierarchy.
