Samenvatting
First published in 1954, this volume was intended by its author, A. Paul, to present a complete and consecutive a history of the tribes which inhabit the mountains and deserts of eastern Sudan. The book begins with a description of the Beja tribes and an investigation into their origins, and then traces their long history from roughly 2500 BC to the middle of the twentieth century. Containing numerous maps and illustrations, as well as several detailed appendices, this volume will be of interest to anyone looking for an introduction to the history of the Beja people.
