Title: David Brooks Papers
Dates of creation: c.1910 - 1993
Extent: 7 metres
Held by: Durham University Library, Archives and Special Collections
Origination: David Brooks (1940-1994)
Language: English, Persian
David H.M. Brooks was born on 27 June 1940, the second son of Alexander Brooks of Carluke, Lanarkshire, where the family had owned a High St store for 6 generations. He graduated from Glasgow University in 1962 with a BA in Psychology and went on
to Balliol College, Oxford where he was awarded a Diploma in Social Anthropology in 1963. The next four years were interspersed with research trips to Iran and efforts to make contact with the Bakhtiari nomads in the south-west of the country, whose
Spring migrations he accompanied in 1964 and 1966. He was accompanied by his wife, Marianne, a nurse who established a medical clinic in the region and worked in a Tehran hospital during their visits. Whilst in Iran he almost died from cholera and
was later almost killed when, in 1966, a car ploughed into the one in which he was sitting. As a result of the latter, he lost his spleen, part of a lung and severely damaged his diaphragm which compromised his health for years to come.
He was appointed lecturer in the Anthropology of the Middle East at Durham’s newly formed Anthropology Department in 1968. David taught at Durham for over two decades, during which time he established himself as an inspirational and invigorating
teacher and, in the words of one colleague at the time, ‘a true intellectual’. He was well known for spending evenings and sometimes the entire night before a lecture, preparing new and deeply thought-provoking material delivered with an engaging
mix of authority and humour, and mostly from memory. Judith Okely, a colleague in the 1970s described how some students would go down to the banks of the River Wear just to sit, with their heads spinning after his lectures. His appeal was puzzling
to some and it was suggested that on occasion, colleagues would try and listen outside his seminars in order to understand his draw.
His academic interests covered the Middle East, particularly Iran, and also Afghanistan, and Morocco, nomadic and tribal populations, Sufism, Shi'a Islam, tribal organisation in Iran with special reference to the history of tribe-state
relationships and problems of settlement, religious and cultural symbolism, ritual and the performing arts - music, dance, poetry - in Iran, cognitive and cultural anthropology, structuralism, semiology and hermeneutics. He was also an adviser and
script writer for the Oscar nominated film
People of the Wind.
In 1986 David was diagnosed with lung cancer and had to have one of his lungs removed. Unfortunately, it was his good lung that was removed and he was left with the lung that had already been badly damaged in the earlier car crash. He had also
been a heavy smoker for many years. He was a man of remarkable spirit and tenacity. David was reliant on a ventilator for the last few years of his life, but always ensured he had plenty of oxygen available when friends came round to talk.
David Brooks died on 29 April 1994 at the age of 53, a few years after his wife Marianne passed away. He left behind two sons, Ruaridh and Robb.
David Brooks published relatively little during his lifetime, and his collection includes a number of conference papers, and draft book chapters describing Bakhtiari life, and related subjects such as Islam, religion, pilgrimgage, political
leadership, women and dance. There is copious raw material from his fieldwork in the form of field notes, and also lecture notes and drafts for papers, and also a quantity of photographic, film and audio tape/cassette material. There are also files
of archival research notes, especially from the National Archives in Kew and the India Office, index cards, some administrative papers from his time at Durham University, including grant applications, and quantites of newspaper cuttings on
post-revolutionary Iran, and offprints, magazines, pamphlets and some books on Iran.

examination of these two Perisan wills it reveals a deviation from what might be regarded as an Isalmic norm - sons share the father's estate equally. The wills also demonstrate the persistence of wealth and power within particular families over
generations, and also show the adaptability of Islam and its institutions.

Synopsis: historical reconstruction shows that traffic facilities for communication and trade were well developed in Sasanid times up to the 14th Century. This coexisted with agriculture and forests in the nowadays bare valleys. Political
instability of Persia and military events from the Afghan invasion favoured the Bakhtiari tribe's nomadic way of life and decay of the traffic routes and agriculture.

Susan Wright's notes:
Comparison of contents of reels with David Brook’s ‘Bakhtiari Music and dance’ located in the archive in Box 5, ‘Symbolism’ file It seems that his text ‘Bakhtiari music and dance’ was written as notes to go with a compilation tape, maybe to
accompany a lecture, probably with his own performance of the dances. This compilation tape has not been identified. David summarises the types of recordings he has made and refers to the number of minutes on the tape. He then describes the types of
music, the instruments, and the different dances. The text ends with handwritten notes about the movements involved in one of the dances (probably dasmal bazi). In the list below I have used the categories David uses in that text and have tried to
find where they feature on the index of recordings. More work needs to be done by listening to the recordings and identifying the contents in more detail.
