The Bedouin and the Arab:
Khaldun and the Assimilation of a Great People

Anyone who has ever watched a movie set in the deserts of the Middle East has
probably seen the exotic, but familiar representation of the area’s nomads. These
nomads, known as Bedouins, are almost always shown in traditional dress and riding
camels through the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert. While this image of the
precarious lifestyle of the Bedouin may have been accurate at some point in time, with
the incursion of modernity, expanding cities, and the complications of living such a
close and isolated lifestyle, this nomadic group may be slowly slipping into the annals
of time.
The medieval writer Ibn Khaldun is considered to be one of the most important
people to have ever documented the sociology and history of the Muslim people
(Hozien). Ibn Khaldun was born in Tunis on May 27, 1332 and, having been born into a
family of scholars and politicians, was well educated (Hozien). He spent more than five
months writing the introduction to his famous book about universal history (Hozien).
This impressive introduction is known as The Maqaddimah: An Introduction to History
and is a compilation of Khaldun’s great wisdom, experience and includes much of his
personal knowledge about the Maghrib people (Hozien).
