Libya by Helen Chapin Metz is a comprehensive guide to the history, culture, and geography of Libya. The book covers the country's ancient history, including the Phoenician and Roman periods, as well as its more recent history under Ottoman and Italian rule. It also delves into the country's modern history, including the Gaddafi era and the 2011 revolution. The book provides detailed information on Libya's geography, including its deserts, mountains, and coastline, as well as its flora and fauna. It also covers the country's economy, including its oil industry, agriculture, and tourism.Libya includes a section on the country's culture, including its music, art, and literature, as well as its customs and traditions. It also provides information on the various ethnic and religious groups that make up the Libyan population.Overall, Libya is a comprehensive guide to this fascinating and complex country, providing readers with a deeper understanding of its history, culture, and people.By this time, the revolutionary government had come to look upon tribal organization and values as antithetical to its policies. Even Qadhafi, despite his beduin roots, viewed tribes as anachronistic and as obstacles to modernization. Consequently, the government sought to break the links between the rural population and its traditional leaders by focusing attention on a new elite--the modernizers who represented the new leadership. The countryside was divided into zones that crossed old tribal boundaries, combining different tribes in a common zone and splitting tribes in a manner that weakened traditional institutions and the force of local kinship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
