Fige4.4060:3 A general view of the lower quarter
collectively identified --and they referred to themselves--as the
fallaheen of the lower quarter.
Be The heterogenious lineage of the lower quarter helps to explain
the spatially defined character of this quarter. Unlike both the
Barghouthi and Shu'aibi quarters which had strong external boundaries
defining their compounds as a whole (e.g. back of buildings, empty
lots, etc., and more significantly, defined and controlled entrances
to the harah), the lower quarter had no such defined entrances to
control outsiders. Internal boundaries which seperated the different
descent groups were thus more important than external boundaries
separating them (the fallaheen) from the rest of the village as was
the case with the Shu'aibis.
3. As figure 4.4/7 iluustrated the lower quarter consisted of a
number of separate compounds belonging to the different descent
groups: while the Rabi and ‘Adi compounds were adjacent to one
another--expressing their social cohesiveness, enhanced by inter-
marriage--the Nasir compound was facing away from the Rabi and ‘Adi
compounds.
ae The Rabi clan occupied a number of compounds. The main Rabi
compound (fig-4.48 ) had an enclosed courtyard with a number of
single family houses around it. The Rabi clan occupied another two
adjacent compounds. A number of single family houses located adjacent
to one another formed a TOW of houses, each with a small semi-private
frontyard. However the road which was constructed in 1975 past
through these frontyards, hence leaving the row of houses open
