The Beduin of the Negev

The Beduin of the Negev PDF Author: Penny Maddrell
Publisher: Minority Rights Group
ISBN: 0946690685
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 32

Book Description
'PLACES OF BITTERNESS' was the phrase used by one researcher describing the 'government settlements' where the Israeli government plans to relocate its beduin population. Nearly half of the 90,000 beduin in the Negev already live in these settlements. They have no industry and provide almost no employment. Their infrastructure is inferior to those of Jewish Israeli settlements and all but one do not have councils elected by residents, but government appointed ones dominated by officials from the Jewish Israeli community. Many beduin do not live in the government settlements but in so-called 'unauthorized villages' or spread out in isolated groups of dwellings over their traditional lands. Because all these houses are illegal, demolitions regularly take place, thus pressuring the beduin to move to government settlements. Beduin Arabs, formerly nomadic tribes, are a minority within a minority - about 15% of Israel's Arab population. The Negev beduin have over the past forty years suffered from forced exodus and and expulsions, removal from their lands into a closed area, military government and resettlement. Most face continued exclusion from their traditional lands and harassment by the security forces of the "Green Patrol". The Beduin of the Negev, MRG Report No 81, outlines the history of the Negev beduin from Ottoman times to the present Israeli government. Written by Penny Maddrell with additional research by Yunis al-Grinawi, it provides a detailed account of this little known group and demonstrates why, despite efforts to separate them from the other Arabs of Israel, they are an intrinsic part of the Palestinian community there. Please note that the terminology in the fields of minority rights and indigenous peoples’ rights has changed over time. MRG strives to reflect these changes as well as respect the right to self-identification on the part of minorities and indigenous peoples. At the same time, after over 50 years’ work, we know that our archive is of considerable interest to activists and researchers. Therefore, we make available as much of our back catalogue as possible, while being aware that the language used may not reflect current thinking on these issues.

Puerto Ricans in the U.S.

Puerto Ricans in the U.S. PDF Author: Kai Wagenheim
Publisher: Minority Rights Group
ISBN: 0903114879
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 24

Book Description
Puerto Ricans are a people divided between two nations - neither of which truly belongs to them. Of the 5 million Puerto Ricans today, 3 million live on the island of Puerto Rico and more than 2 million in the USA, principally in New York and the north-east. They are the descendents of Spanish settlers, African slaves and other immigrant communities. Their first language is Spanish yet they live in a nation where English is the main language. The island of Puerto Rico, formerly a Spanish and then a US colony, from 1952 has had 'Commonwealth' status with the USA - neither independence nor statehood. Its people have had US citizenship since 1917 and can move freely between the island and the mainland - yet the island has no representatives in the US Congress. Different political groups campaign for the three options of independence, greater autonomy or US statehood but the political situation remains stagnant. Economic depression pushes many Puerto Ricans to immigrate to the US cities, where they face discrimination and severe problems in employment, education and health. Today they are the second poorest ethnic group in the US. Puerto Ricans in the US, Minority Rights Group report no 58, describes the situation of Puerto Ricans on the island and the mainland. Written by Kai Wagenheim and produced by the New York Minority Rights Group, it is an important contribution towards increased understanding of this increasingly-important but little known group.

Arab Women

Arab Women PDF Author: Ann Dearden
Publisher: Minority Rights Group
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 20

Book Description
Arab women make up nearly half of the Arab world’s population of some 135 million. Among all the world’s Muslim women, they form a distinctive group. But their status cannot be given a single classification. It varies greatly according to the country they live in and the section of society to which they belong.In Saudi Arabia, today women, with few exceptions, still wear the veil and may not meet men other than their nearest relations. The more modernized countries, such as Egypt, Lebanon and Tunisia, offer a different picture. There the women of better-off families have a lifestyle broadly comparable with women in Europe. Many are outstanding in public or professional work. In proportion to men, there are more women members of parliament in Sudan than in Britain. Egypt has over 1,000 women doctors and a woman is its senior flying instructor. There are women judges in Lebanon and Algeria. Syrian women engineers worked on the Euphrates dam. Please note that the terminology in the fields of minority rights and indigenous peoples’ rights has changed over time. MRG strives to reflect these changes as well as respect the right to self-identification on the part of minorities and indigenous peoples. At the same time, after over 50 years’ work, we know that our archive is of considerable interest to activists and researchers.
