First published in 1980, this groundbreaking Routledge Revival is a
reissue of an original and authentic anthropological account of
Pukhtun society by Professor Akbar Ahmed. Combining extensive
fieldwork data collected among the Mohmand tribe in the Northwest
Frontier Province of Pakistan with historical and literary sources,
Professor Ahmed's study seeks to construct an ideal-type model of
Pukhtun society based on the ideal Code of the Pukhtuns and to
analyse the conditions of its maintenance and transformation. The
author's thesis is that this ideal model exists within Pukhtun
society when interaction with larger state systems is minimal and
in poor economic zones. In this way he posits an opposition between
the Tribal Agencies along the border with Afghanistan, where
ecological conditions are poor and state influence minimal, and the
Settled Areas under state administration where Pukhtun society is
forced away from its ideals.
