Bedouins
Miki Kratsman
2023
The book combines texts and photos from Kratsman's
journey to three unrecognized villages in the Negev: Al-Arakib, Wadi Al-Na'am, and Tawil Abu-Jarwal, in 2010. The book returns to Kratsman's diary and films produced during that pivotal encounter, which led to his preoccupation with Bedouin's life.
