""Libya"" is a comprehensive book written by Helen Chapin Metz, which provides an in-depth analysis of the history, culture, and society of Libya. The book covers various aspects of the country, including its geography, economy, politics, and people. It explores the rich history of Libya, from the ancient civilizations that once thrived in the region to the modern era of the country.The author delves into the country's political landscape, including the rise and fall of the Gaddafi regime, the Arab Spring, and the ongoing conflict in the country. She also examines the role of Islam in Libyan society, the country's cultural heritage, and the challenges faced by Libyan women.The book provides a balanced and nuanced view of Libya, highlighting the country's strengths and weaknesses, and offering insights into its future prospects. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and culture of North Africa, as well as for those seeking to understand the complex dynamics of the Middle East and North Africa region.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.
