How do "modern Nomads" cross the Sahara? What kinds of challenges and difficulties are they confronted with, which opportunities do they find in Libya, and how does their life in the newly created Saharan borderland look like? These and other questions are rised in this book and are
answered - surprisingly - on the basis of beauty and aesthetics. Ideals of beauty, body characteristics, dress codes and sexual tabues, correlate with morlas, norms and values and can be interpreted as an indicator of social change in the Sahara.
The bordercrossing Tuareg have thus formed a veritable "youth culture". New ideals of beauty, refashioned aesthetics of music, changing traditions and newly acquired values of money and material things sshow this nomadic society form a striking new angle.
