Libya Art and Culture, People of Libya, Tradition and Environment. Libya has a rich history; over the years, it has been invaded by the Romans, Arabs, Turks and Italians. That's why Libyan culture, similar to other African countries, is a mix of various other cultures. Its origin can be traced back to Berber, African and Turkish cultures. However, it has been able to remain alienated from Western influences, keeping its traditional folk aspect alive. While the big cities are vibrant with exhibitions, concerts and fashion shows, the more remote regions are a colorful blend of traditional customs. The art of painting is much admired in Libya and according to popular estimates, the populace of Libya adores this art to a great extent. Libyan painters are very well acknowledged for their talent. One distinguished painter is Ali al-Albani, who is very well adept at carving landscapes

Ideal for high school students and undergraduates, this volume explores contemporary life and culture in Libya. Libya is one of Africa's largest nations, but its topography is dominated by a huge southern desert with some of the hottest temperatures recorded anywhere in the world. Culture and Customs of Libya explores the daily lives of the 90 million men, women, and children who struggle to get by in this authoritarian state, where only a fraction of the land is arable and 90 percent of the people live in less than 10 percent of the area, primarily along the Mediterranean coast. In this comprehensive overview of modern Libyan life, readers can explore topics such as religion, contemporary literature, media, art, housing, music, and dance. They will learn about education and employment and will see how traditions and customs of the past—including those from Libya's long domination by the Ottoman Empire and 40 years as an Italian colony—are kept alive or have evolved to fit into today's modern age.

Few empirical studies of Arab countries have dealt with political culture and political socialisation or focused on people's beliefs, values, and attitudes towards the government or political leaders, mainly because the regimes have been reluctant to allow opinion to be tested. The significance of this book is that it assesses the influence of state ideology on the new generation of Libyans, and examines their political culture.

The Sahara is Libya's outstanding landscape feature and is the source of most of its significant natural resources. This desert region is also extraordinarily rich in historical and cultural heritage that is in itself another valuable resource, through exploitation by Libya's tourism industry. This volume draws attention to the link between the benefits that Libya draws from its Saharan resources (oil, gas, water, minerals and tourism) and the need to safeguard and record aspects of its cultural heritage. The book also provides a summary of important developments in Saharan studies and shows how these can contribute to modern planning and development of the desert regions.

The 2011 Libyan Revolution was a nine month youth led uprising that toppled the Gaddafi regime. It began with peaceful demonstrations, which the Gaddafi regime attempted to suppress with bullets and heavy artillery, before escalating into a war. The revolution inspired many young artists to express their hope for freedom and support for the revolution with graffiti after having their right to freedom of speech oppressed for forty-two years. The photographs in this book document a small portion of the graffiti seen in Tripoli and Gharyan three weeks after the liberation of both of these cities. The graffiti and street art capture the culture, humor, resilience, strength, pain and hope of the Libyan people as they experienced their first precious days of freedom. Proceeds from this book will go to several Libyan aid agencies to help those who were injured and displaced from their homes during the revolution.

Libya is a country located in North Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Tunisia and Algeria to the west. Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa in terms of land area, with the majority of its desert terrain unsuitable for agriculture. The population of Libya is estimated to be around 6.8 million people, with the majority living in urban areas along the Mediterranean coast. Libya has a rich history and a cultural heritage that dates back to ancient times. The country was under the rule of various empires and kingdoms, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs. During the 20th century, Libya went through a period of colonization by Italy and was then ruled for over 40 years by Muammar Gaddafi until his downfall in 2011 during the Arab Spring. Since then, the country has been plagued by political instability and violence, with various factions vying for control. Libya is also a major oil-producing country, but its oil industry has been impacted by the ongoing conflict.
