Description

In writings about Islam, women and modernity in the Middle East, family and religion are frequently invoked but rarely historicized. Accessibly written and based on a wide range of local sources, this book shows that there is no such thing as a typical Muslim or Arab family type. Rather, it reveals dramatic differences, even within the same cultural zone, in the ways that family was understood, organized and reproduced. By concentrating on family life in the Ottoman Empire, in particular in what is now Lebanon and Palestine, Beshara B. Doumani skilfully uses examples of family waqf endowments, lawsuits between kin, and other cases from the shari'a courts to reconstruct the stories and priorities of ordinary individuals. Through his examination of the transformations of family, property and gender regimes, Doumani offers a groundbreaking examination of the lives of ordinary people. By doing so, he challenges prevailing assumptions about modern Middle Eastern societies. 01.0_pp_i_ii_Family_Life_in_the_Ottoman_Mediterranean 02.0_pp_iii_iii_Family_Life_in_the_Ottoman_Mediterranean 03.0_pp_iv_iv_Copyright_page 04.0_pp_v_vi_Contents 05.0_pp_vii_viii_Figures 06.0_pp_ix_ix_Maps 07.0_pp_x_xii_Tables 08.0_pp_xiii_xxvi_Preface_and_Acknowledgments 09.0_pp_1_46_Maryams_Final_Word 10.0_pp_47_101_Hamidas_Children_Come_of_Age 11.0_pp_102_133_Husayns_and_Abd_al-Wahids_Designs 12.0_pp_134_187_Good_Deeds 13.0_pp_188_223_Whos_In_Whos_Out 14.0_pp_224_274_Property_and_Gender 15.0_pp_275_300_Fatimas_Determination 16.0_pp_301_311_Note_on_the_Tripoli_Sharia_Court_Registers 17.0_pp_312_332_Bibliography 18.0_pp_333_346_Index
