| book description |

Tribes: Challenging the Image, Shifting the Paradigm reconsiders the concept of “tribe” in political, cultural, and academic discourse, offering a dynamic alternative to outdated and damaging stereotypes. This book critiques the popular portrayal of tribes as static, violent, or regressive, arguing instead for an understanding of tribal life as adaptive, egalitarian, and resilient. Drawing on examples from colonial history, contemporary war zones, and indigenous sovereignty movements, it explores how tribes disperse power, resist conquest, and regenerate through ritual and cultural practice. The volume challenges the misuse of “tribalism” in modern politics and repositions tribes as vital actors in global conversations about identity, governance, and resource rights. Through comparative analysis, it proposes a new paradigm that recognizes tribes as shape-shifters rather than fixed structures. Tribes: Challenging the Image, Shifting the Paradigm is ideal for students and researchers interested in anthropology, human rights, international relations, and political rhetoric.
