Pastoral nomadism is difficult to define with an overarching and all-embracing definition. The transcription of Pashtu terms follows the rules of the "Library of Congress" with the exception of persons' names for which diacritical signs are not used. The nomads livestock management system seems (superficially) to exemplify the mainstream view of pastoral systems, since the nomads invariably state that their. This form of nomadism is a very old way of life that differentiated in time and space, and developed a variety of genres de vie. We are most grateful to all three of them. The data analysed and communicated here were collected either personally, or, because our language capacities were not good enough for more detailed interviews and discussions, through the assistance of our friends and counterparts Mohammad Saber, Hedayat Hedayatullah and Mohammad Azim Safi who also helped us in many other ways. Given the trouble Central Asian nomads caused civilized states in the period from about 3,000 to 750 years ago, if the ratio of prime pastoral to farming. This chapter addresses the problem of subsistence change from nomadic pastoralism to sedentary agriculture as a consequence of drought and its subsequent. The fieldwork in Afghanistan, sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG), to which we are most grateful, was carried out together with Bernt Glatzer over a period of about ten months during the winter of 1975/76 and the summer of 1977 in the districts of Bala Boluk (Farah Rud) and Shindand in the province of Farah. Finally, the information might also be useful for future cross-cultural and comparative studies on the socialisation process in different societies because very little information is available on nomadic pastoral societies. Second, even if these dramatic changes have influenced and altered many or some of the values and norms on which the socialisation process is grounded, the information presented here can be understood as a document describing how it was "once upon a time". Nevertheless, even some thirty years after the fieldwork, I think that the data presented here are still valid for three reasons: First, it can be supposed that many of the patterns in the way in which children grow up in a Pashtu nomad camp in western Afghanistan have not changed dramatically - despite the terrible events and socio-political changes that the country has gone through since 1979. True pastoral nomads (without agriculture) are rare, and. Once again, it took a long time to partly rewrite and expand it. Most pastoralists engage in limited (often seasonal) agriculture in addition to animal husbandry. The changes in the system of pastoral production, the various techniques of acquiring and processing livestock products, all of which directly affect herders. The present booklet grew out of an article originally written fo an edited book that finally became too long and was withdrawn. The fieldwork was carried out already in the late 1970s. For many reasons, publication of this description and analysis of the socialisation process among the Pashtu nomads of western Afghanistan is considerably overdue.
