Jehan Rajab looks at the garments worn by three distinct groups: the Baladin, or townsfolk, who made up the sophisticated, commercial population and were most open to foreign influences, the Fellahin or villagers, from whom came the most beautiful embroideries and the Bedu, whose embroidery and clothes were influenced by village styles but had their own individual features. - Contents: The Nablus-Jenin Region -- Galilee -- The Bethlehem Region -- The Jerusalem Region -- The Ramallah Region -- The Hebron Region -- Majdal - Isdud -Jaffa - Bayt Dajan -- The Gaza Region -- The Bir Seb'a and Sinai Region -- Palestinian Costume Today -- Silver Folk Jewellery of Syria, Palestine and Jordan -- Traditional Embroidery Motifs from the Levant -- A Few Common Stitches -- A Short Glossary.
