Northern Albania and Montenegro are the only regions in Europe to
have retained a true tribal society up to the mid-twentieth
century. This book provides the first scholarly investigation of
this tribal society, a pioneer work that offers a detailed survey
of all the major Albanian-speaking tribes in Albania, Montenegro
and Kosovo. Robert Elsie provides comprehensive material on the 69
different tribes, including data on their locations, religious
affiliations, tribal structures and relations, population
statistics, tribal folklore, legends and history. Also included are
excerpts from the works of prominent nineteenth and early-twentieth
century writers, such as Edith Durham and Johann Georg von Hahn,
who travelled through the tribal regions, as well as short
biographies on prominent figures linked to the tribes. As the first
book of its kind, The Tribes of Albania will be of interest to
scholars and students of the Balkans, of southeastern European
anthropology, ethnography and history.
