Emilie Le Febvre’s book, Photography and Making Bedouin History in the Naqab, 1906-2013, is a truly original exploration of how the Bedouin of the Naqab have used the unique qualities of photographs to turn them into ‘objects of historical persuasion’ to evidence their longstanding presence in the region. Her book is the first of its kind to bridge the anthropology of Bedouin and visual culture, and offers a refreshing interpretation of how a cultural landscape and its objects (photographs) can be understood in the study of the Middle East. - Dawn Chatty, Professor Emerita of International Development Studies, University of Oxford
