Description

Bedouin homestead of the Habsi family, in the unrecognized
village of Rakhma. Tin houses, dirt roads, and a number of livestock pens are
visible, as well as the herds being led along the top left corner. The village
currently has approximately 1,500 residents, a portion of whom have lived here
for generations. After the war of 1948, during which the majority fled,
seventeen families remained. Rakhma is frequently cited as a village suitable
for recognition by the state. Currently an unrecognized village, the homes are
under constant threat of demolition and the village remains without
electricity, paved roads, sewage facilities, or garbage disposal.

Erasure Trilogy, Volume 4: Desert Bloom (Notes)
