Notes

1 McKee uses the term ‘Negev’ throughout her text, so I will do so here as well for the sake of coherence. In my other work, I use the term ‘Naqab’ and other indigenous place names.

2 In Israel, as in many other countries in the Middle East including Jordan, Bedouin communities have been forcibly settled in towns built by central governments. Scholars of the region classify this as a state strategy for subordination and control of nomadic communities. For more, see Falah (1989).
