The Tuareg (Blue Men) trace their lineage back to the pharaohs of Egypt and are deeply rooted in the Arab world. However, like other minorities in Arab countries, they are marginalized, unrecognized, and deprived of their political and social rights, almost erased from the collective Arab memory. Who are they, and why are they called the "Blue Men"? This book evokes the history of this people who roam the desert and are deeply in love with it. It speaks of the lives of the "Blue Men," a life shrouded in mystery, secrets, and legends, and of their customs, traditions, and the unique character of their society, which has remained resistant to any form of "civilization."
