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. 410 0$aLibrary of Balkan studies ;$v1. 606 $aEthnology$zAlbania 606 $aTribes$zAlbania$xHistory 606 $aTribes$zAlbania$xSocial conditions 606 $aTribes$zAlbania$xSocial life and customs 606 $aTribes$zAlbania 606 $aAgriculture & farming$2BIC 607 $aAlbania$xCivilization 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aTribes$xHistory. 615 0$aTribes$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aTribes$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aTribes 615 7$aAgriculture & farming. 676 $a949.65 676 $a305.891991 700 $aElsie$b Robert$f1950-2017,$0451694 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966576803321 996 $aThe tribes of Albania$94336344 997 $aUNINA
