Oberling's The Qashqāʼi Nomads of Fārs covers the history of that important tribal confederation from its earliest known beginnings down through the 1950s when the ruling khans' power was finally eclipsed by the central government. The book touches first on the Qashqāʼi pastoral economy, but all too briefly, and then sketches the confederation's political organization in an equally rudimentary manner. The book then turns to Qashqāʼi origins, places them in Fars in the fifteenth century, and suggests that the most probable etymology of Qashqāʼi is the Turkic qashqā (a horse with a white spot on its forehead).
