"The Bani Hilal Epic -- or the Abu Zayd Epic -- is the story of a black Arab hero and of the legendary migrations of the Bani Hilal tribe. For centuries it has been told aloud by professional poet-musicians and amateur storytellers across a vast expanse of Arabic-speaking lands. Through firsthand study, in Egypt and Tunisia, of living exemplars of this oral tradition, Bridget Connelly offers specialists a fresh appraisal of the Arab epic."
