Paper Abstract: Rebecca Popenoe (2004) examined the ethnography of the Azawagh Arabs of northwestern Niger. Many trends in anthropology focus on change and inconsistency. Popenoe (2004) takes a self-proclaimed middle approach; that amidst changing economies, ideologies and politics certain aspects of culture remain consistent. In this work, the author observed the relatively unchanging practice amongst the Azawagh Arabs of fattening girls in order to make beautiful women of them.
