When UNESCO launched its appeal to save the monuments of Nubia in 1960, the Nubian people became keenly aware of world attention to the historic land they were losing. Paradoxically their sense of loss seems to have stimulated a cultural revival. At the time of the resettlement few Nubians had photographs of their home communities. A primary purpose of the present book is to make historic photographs available to people seeking a fuller record of their lost environment. It is hoped that these pictures and others like them will stimulate recollections among the older residents and bring to life the memory of the paradise that existed before 1965. This book is intended not only for modern Nubians, but also for citizens of the world who may find inspiration in traditional Nubian society.
