- 概要/Abstract:
This paper explores British attempts to recruit and manage Bedouin groups in the 1920s and 1930s. Focusing on the Arab Legion of Trans-Jordan, it will show how matters of dress, deployment and military discipline became a touchstone for wider debates about Britain’s responsibilities in the desert, and about the future of the Bedouin themselves.
本報告では、1920年代と30年代のトランスヨルダンにおける英国軍の新兵募集の試みを扱う。とくに、遊牧民ベドゥイン新兵の装いや配備、訓練が、砂漠地での英国の役割と、ベドゥインたちの未来に関わる問題として議論されていく様を描き出す。
