Nomads in Postrevolutionary Iran
Examining the rapid transition in Iran from a modernizing, westernizing, secularizing monarchy (1941-79) to a hard-line, conservative, clergy-run Islamic republic (1979-), this book focuses on the ways this process has impacted the Qashqa’i—a rural, nomadic, tribally organized, Turkish-speaking, ethnic minority of a million and a half people who are dispersed across the southern Zagros Mountains. Analysing the relationship between the tribal poli…

Less than half of the total Iranian population of 35 million speaks Persian as a first language. Except for religion in the case of the 4 per cent of the population which is non-Muslim, language is used by Iranians as the main distinguishing feature of population groups. As the revolutionary process continues in Iran, distinctions between the Persian and the non-Persian populations, including tribal peoples, will undoubtedly have increasing polit…

Nomads and Urbanites, involuntary hosts and uninvited guests
When I began a second period of anthropological research on the pastoral nomadic Qashqa'i of southwest Iran in 1977, I was surprised by the frequency with which urban Persians were visiting Qashqa'i encampments, even in locations that otherwise would be considered inaccessible. Cars full of visitors from the city would drive into encampments and deposit their riders anxious for food and relaxation. It soon became apparent that these visits were a…

Tribe and State in Revolutionary Iran
This paper discusses the attempted resumption of paramount Qashqa'i leadership upon the fall of the Pahlavi regime in 1979. Paramount Qashqa'i leaders had been exiled from Iran following their support of Prime Minister Mosaddeq in the early 1950s and had, since then, either remained in exile or returned to Iran to live under political restrictions. In early 1979, those in exile returned to Iran and joined the others in resuming positions of regio…

Herd Owners and Hired Shepherds
The literature on nomadic pastoralists in the Middle East does not often discuss herders, those persons responsible for daily herding tasks. For households allocating herding responsibilities to one of their own members, the herder's age, sex, or position within the family is usually not stated, nor is it clear how changes occur as the household develops. For households combining herds, it iS usually not stated how a herder is chosen from among t…
