Description

Richard Tapper's comprehensive 1997 study examines the political and social history of the Shahsevan, one of Iran's major nomadic peoples, drawing on three decades of ethnographic fieldwork and extensive documentary research. The book traces the Shahsevan from their mythical origins through tribal unification as a confederacy to their decline under the Pahlavi Shahs, offering a dramatic narrative of transformation and adaptation. Part of the Cambridge Middle East Studies series, this work engages with scholarly debates about Shahsevan origins, the relationship between tribal formations and external political forces, and the broader patterns of nomadic change in modern Iran. Tapper's meticulous research combines oral histories, archival documents, and field observations to reconstruct the complex dynamics that shaped this influential Iranian tribal confederation across generations.
