Product Description -
The Beauty Hunters offers a rare insight into Sudanese Bedouin poetry, its evolution, aesthetics, and impact. Through an in-depth profile of al-Hardallo, the doyen of this art form, Adil Babikir explores the attributes that established him as a poet of international stature. The life of al-Hardallo was a series of journeys in pursuit of beauty. From wandering across the Butana wilderness to his adventures with women, he documented the ups and downs of his life using superb verse. In addition to its aesthetic value, al-Hardallo's poetry offers rich material for Sudanese studies as it carries glimpses of the sociopolitical developments in Sudan during his lifetime, having lived through three distinct eras: Turco-Egyptian rule (1820-1885), Mahdist rule (1885-1898), and part of the Anglo-Egyptian era (1898-1956). Reading Bedouin poetry in a hybrid context, as a major contributor to what Babikir calls a uniquely Sudanese aesthetic taste, The Beauty Hunters makes an invaluable addition to the discourse on Sudan's cultural identity.
