"Weekly ritual at Ait Tfeqirt. Burnoose laundry day. For a Berber, washing the burnoose is a rite never entrusted to women. It is the only garment he personally launders, using no soap, only water, and the tremendous power of his pile-driver feet . . . The great flat rock upon which he appeared to dance was the traditional washing stone of his village. [Morocco, 1954.]" The World of Allah, pp. 54-55 and 263. |
