Richard Tapper's 1997 book, which is based on three decades of
ethnographic fieldwork and extensive documentary research, traces
the political and social history of the Shahsevan, one of the major
nomadic peoples of Iran. The story is a dramatic one, recounting
the mythical origins of the tribes, their unification as a
confederacy, and their decline under the Pahlavi Shahs. The book is
intended as a contribution to three different debates. The first
concerns the riddle of Shahsevan origins, while another considers
how far changes in tribal social and political formations are a
function of relations with states. The third discusses how
different constructions of the identity of a particular people
determine their view of the past. In this way, the book promises
not only to make a major contribution to the history and
anthropology of the Middle East and Central Asia, but also to
theoretical debates in both disciplines.
