Paperback. Zustand: Good. Borzu Qermezi was the headman and political leader of a group of nomadic pastoralists who were part of the Qashqa'i confederacy of southwest Iran. Proud, complex, strong-willed, witty, and cunning, Borzu successfully led his people on their annual migrations for many years. He regulated their travel; mediated conflicts; intervened in (and sometimes exacerbated) tense situations between his people and other nomads; and dealt with the government police agency. Structuring the account around the four seasons, Lois Beck recounts the day-to-day activities of Borzu during the year she spent traveling with his people. She describes the rigors of nomadic life and the consequences of decisions made in haste. During 1970 to 1971, Borzu and his people were faced with many difficulties. When the expected winter rains did not fall, pastures and crops shriveled. Unable to sell their starving livestock for any profit, Borzu's people saw their debts to urban merchants and moneylenders increase. At the same time, Iran exercised more bureaucratic control over the Qashqa'i by applying new policies over migratory schedules and the allocation of scarce pastures, and by introducing non-Qashqa'i agriculturalists and livestock investors as legitimate land users. All these measures threatened the nomad's way of life and eventually undermined the role of headmen such as Borzu. Lois Beck details the vicissitudes endured by Borzu's people and the strategies he devised to cope with them. Blending ethnographic and historical material, this book contains information unavailable for other tribal and nomadic pastoral groups in the Middle East and central Asia. Through Beck's deft analysis, we come to understand why nomadic pastoralism was once an important part of this vast region, and why tribal society has endured. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. I can only wonder if anyone in this country is still interested in Iran and its deep cultural history and ethnography. Please find: "The Qashqa'i of Iran" by Lois Beck. I quote from the flap of the dust jacket: "The Qashqa'i are a Turkic-speaking predominantly pastoral nomadic people in southwest Iran who occupy a strategic area between the Persian Gulf and the major population centers of Iran. Historically one of the most important tribal groups in Iran, they are organized into a confederacy--a highly developed sociopolitical institution with a ruling elite that has participated in national and international politics.The book concludes with a narrative of the Qashqa'i khans' courageous but unsuccessful insurgency against the Khoumeini regime." There is a 20-page section of vintage b&w photos between pages 200 & 201. Condition: This book is in very good condition. There is some minor edge wear to the dust jacket. The hard covers are clean and bright! Inside, someone has marked the front endpaper with a couple of small slashes of sharpie. The interior pages and many b&w photo plates are clean and bright thourghout. There is no toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
