Description
Key Features
The Thousand Families presents an anecdotal history of the Qajar dynasty that ruled Iran from 1796 to 1925 using primary source materials including memoirs, diaries, and government documents.
Ali Shabani, a former court journalist under Mohammad Reza Shah, offers firsthand perspective on the political figures and family dynamics that shaped nineteenth century Iran.
This volume combines scholarly analysis with engaging narrative, featuring ironic commentary and biting criticism of the behaviour and habits of leading Qajar figures.
The book serves as the second volume in the From Antiquity to Modernity series focusing on Middle Eastern and Asian societies, published by Peter Lang.
Shabani explores family backgrounds and legacies of Qajar associates, painting a detailed portrait of political and social dynamics in imperial Iran.
The work examines both strengths and weaknesses of nineteenth century Iranian leaders through vivid characterization and historical documentation.
