It analyzes the political and socio-economic factors undermining tribal politics under the regime of Reza Shah, and examines the division which took place regarding the 'tribal problem'. The author argues that on the one hand, it lead to modern ethnic nationalism and on the other, detribalization and absorption into wider class or ideology-based organizations happened. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLooking particularly at the land reform of the early 1960s, and the revolution of 1979, Cronin also discusses the final disappearance of the khans as a political force and the rise of a new tribal leadership loyal to and dependent upon the regime. This innovative and important work challenges conventional political and scholarly approaches to tribal politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Cronin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415404401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415404402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.36w x 0.81d","brand":"Stephanie Cronin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064914456831,"sku":"9780415404402","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb5c6ce6-c0c2-4e52-a1e0-cb349b2d67ef.jpg?v=1768671887","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tribal-politics-in-iran-stephanie-cronin-9780415404402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
