The Iraqi Tribal System
a reference for social scientists, analysts and tribal engagement
In The Iraqi Tribal System, Sam G. Stolzoff provides critical tribal data and the methodologies for their application for people who are interested in Iraqi and other Middle Eastern societies from the perspective of tribalism, a subject that has been virtually ignored by western academia. This book is the result of his non-funded, initial independent study and translation of Iraqi Arabic tribal scholarship in order to create a basic analytical framework to facilitate political, cultural and counterinsurgent tribal analysis that is organic to Middle Eastern cultural realities. Knowing the Iraqi Tribal System is a gateway to understanding and appreciating the complexities of Middle Eastern civilization, complete with methodologies on how to work with other Middle Eastern tribes, which are the foundation of the states that purport to represent them.
