Abstract:
The term "Ghorbat" is applied to several non-food-producing, itinerant populations of fairly low status throughout the Middle East and parts of Central Asia and the Balkans. In the 1970s the Ghorbat lived scattered throughout the major part of Afghanistan. This file consists of one article, a cultural summary by Aparna Rao. The article was originally published in Encyclopedia of World Cultures, 1995. It contains information on history, economy, settlements, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion
