Nubian Women of West Aswan: Negotiating Tradition and Change

<p>During a recent trip to visit friends in the village of West Aswan, cultural anthropologist Jennings realized how dated her 1995 The Nubians of West Aswan: Village Women in the Midst of Change had become. Here she updates her ethnographic study to incorporate cultural changes relating to the growth in both population and size of the town, the new bridge across the Nile and resulting flood of tourists, new styles in clothing and dwellings, and new attitudes.
