Tunisian, etc
Dear Nicki,
How wonderful to dance with the people. I think this is the very best way to learn any dance if possible! You end up learning all kinds of things that do not usually get passed along under other circumstances.
Dear Karena,
Thankyou for the citation info on Stambali.I did Google that article some days ago when I was trying to put a comprehensive notes pkg together for my students. It discussed a lot of aspects about cultural psychiatry among African peoples, even as far away as the Kung, and discussed who had done research in that area, how the Jewish culture got involved in North Africa, what is indigenous to the region, their methodology, etc. It was a good article in a respected journal. Unfortunately it is just not very related to what I am trying to do.
It finally also occured to me that I have literally hundreds of old copies of magazines around here, including Viltis, Jareeda, Habibi and Arabesque and Aramco and some old National Geographics, some magazines all in Arabic that if I find a photo, I might be able to get a translation, that I can look through for information.
I want to thank everyone for taking the time to reply.
Regards,
A'isha
