Presenting evidence from a two-decade period, the author addresses how the changes that took place over the past sixty to seventy years have served the needs and interests of the State rather than those of Bedouin community at large. While town living fostered improvements in social and economic development, numerous unintended consequences jeopardized the success of this planning initiative. As a result, the Bedouin community endured excessive hardship and rapid change, abandoning its nomadic lifestyle and traditions in response to the economic, political, and social pressure from the State—and received very little in return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"This is an excellent study of an important and timely topic that is of relevance not only for the people involved but for the wider areas of Israel and the Arab world.

Two things make the book very attractive: that it is totally focused on town planning, and that the fieldwork was spread out over a decade which permitted the author to concentrate on the frequent changes in the plans and in their implementation.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  Emanuel Marx\u003c\/b\u003e, Tel Aviv University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Tables\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Maps\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tNote on Arabic and Hebrew Transliteration and Translations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Planning in the Negev Bedouin Sector\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eSegev Shalom—Background and Community Profile\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003ePlanning, Service Provision, and Development in Segev Shalom\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eHealth and Education\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eNegev Bedouin Identity\/ies Development in Segev Shalom\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Resettled Bedouin Woman\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eBedouin Tourism Development Planning in the New Economy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Segev Shalom - A City on the Edge of Forever?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tPostscript\u003cbr\u003e \tBibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042750529879,"sku":"9781800737365","price":15.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781800737365.jpg?v=1750955465","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/settling-for-less-the-planned-resettlement-of-israels-negev-bedouin-9781800737365","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
