It includes a comparative and theoretical survey of Muslim tribal societies and a detailed empirical case-study. A separate identity within wider political and cultural communities is one of the most characteristic aspects of Middle Eastern tribes. It is typically expressed in tribal striving for political autonomy - an autonomy practically realized in varying degrees according to historical conditions. The book examines cultural dimensions and practical manifestations of tribal identity in this tension between local particularism and wider belonging. A critical discussion of the anthropological notion of tribe serves as an introduction to the theoretical part of the book. The insight that the most important common traits of Muslim tribes are located in the cultural and ideological sphere leads on to an examination of the general characteristics of Middle Eastern tribal societies. Then specific cultural models of tribal identity, such as the ideological and practical role of kinship and marriage relations, are examined, and the highly variable practical manifestations of tribal organization are outlined. The first part of the book is concluded by a critical appraisal of competing theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of tribal identity, which forms the basis for the empirical case study. In the second part, the theoretical approach elaborated in the first part is applied to a case study of a specific tribal society, a central Moroccan Berber tribe. First, the historical and geographical conditions are analyzed. Then the history of the tribe and the various kinds of sources for its understanding are discussed. Further chapters are devoted to the traditional political and legal institutions and their transformations in the course of the 20th century. The hierarchically ordered local status categories and the segmentary structure of the tribe are analyzed in detail. Finally, an investigation of orally transmitted historical knowledge shows that the local discourse about the past is a privileged domain for the study of the ideologies and cultural conceptions that constitute local tribal identity but also contribute to limiting and transcending it. An important methodological principle followed throughout is that ruptures and contradictions should not be ignored or explained away. The oral historical discourse not only provides an insight into the meaning of tribal identity. It also shows how covertly the dominant ideological models are called into question time and again. Even on the cultural and ideological level, tribal identity can only be understood in its interrelations with the wider identity relating to the Muslim state - interrelations that must be explained as historically conditioned and variable. 606 $aTribes$zMiddle East 606 $aTribes$zMorocco 606 $aIslamic sociology 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aTribes 615 0$aTribes 615 0$aIslamic sociology. 700 $aKraus$b Wolfgang$f1958-$0864807 801 0$bWaSeSS 912 $a9910131635303321 996 $aIslamische Stammesgesellschaften$91930327 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02246nam 2200517Ia 450 001 9910974109303321 005 20251017110111.0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000450619 035 $a(EBL)3377408 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000250941 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11228909 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000250941 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10262422 035 $a(PQKB)10942083 035 $a(OCoLC)567831664 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3377408 035 $a(DNLM)1645151 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000450619 100 $a20761021d1998 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aStatement on quality of care /$fInstitute of Medicine, National Roundtable on Health Care Quality; Molla S.
