Rural Society in Iran during the Qajar Period by Mohammad Bakhtiari offers a rare and insightful look into the daily life, power dynamics, and social structure of Iranian villages in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The book examines how rural communities were governed, with a special focus on the role of the Kadkhoda (village headman) and interactions between peasants, landlords, and state officials. Drawing on historical documents and local records, Bakhtiari presents a vivid picture of a society shaped by tradition, land ownership, and emerging state power. It reveals how economic pressures and political reforms transformed the rural landscape over time. Perfect for academic collections and history enthusiasts alike.
