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."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Library of Balkan studies ;1.EthnologyAlbaniaTribesAlbaniaHistoryTribesAlbaniaSocial conditionsTribesAlbaniaSocial life and customsTribesAlbaniaAgriculture & farmingBICAlbaniaCivilizationEthnologyTribesHistory.TribesSocial conditions.TribesSocial life and customs.TribesAgriculture & farming.949.65Elsie Robert1950-2017,451694UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910511805303321The tribes of Albania2553671UNINA
