Description

Explore the complex history of one of Iran's major nomadic groups with Frontier Nomads of Iran by Richard Tapper. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work is the result of thirty years of ethnographic fieldwork and deep documentary research. It provides a detailed look at the political and social evolution of the Shahsevan people. The narrative follows the journey of the tribes from their mythical beginnings through their period of unification as a powerful confederacy. Readers can also learn about the eventual decline of these nomadic structures under the Pahlavi Shahs. This book serves as an essential resource for those interested in Middle Eastern studies, tribal social formations, and the historical shifts in regional politics. It addresses long-standing academic questions regarding the origins of the Shahsevan and how social changes impact tribal structures over time.
