The intimate portraits of daily life, taken by National Geographic Society photographer Tor Eigeland in 1967, show work and family life of the Ma’dan, or Marsh Arabs, of Iraq. The author recounts the 1967 trip and reflects on the fate of the Ma’dan, who lost their way of life when Saddam Hussein dammed and drained the marshlands for oil exploration. He offers an update on how the Ma’dan began to restore the marshlands after Saddam Hussein was deposed. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
