Did Muslim Mystical Traditions Have a Politics in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire
Asking the question of whether Muslim mystical traditions had a politics raises a number of problems from the outset. For starters, the dominance of otherworldly concerns for most Muslim mystics, at least in theory, ideologically posited the concerns of this world as obstacles to the ultimate goal of experiencing the divine unity. As a result, many Ottoman Muslim hagiographies and biographical notices include stories of former jurisprudents and r…
Khaled el-Rouayheb, Islamic Intellectual History in the Seventeenth Century: Scholarly Currents in the Ottoman Empire and the Maghreb
In this ambitious and extensive project, Khaled el-Rouayheb aims to destroy the historiographical biases that belittle the value of early modern intellectual history in the Islamic world. Ironically, multiple perspectives have rendered derogatory verdicts on the legacy of the early modern period –perspectives that have otherwise been extensively challenged in fields other than intellectual history
Tijana KRSTI . Contested Conversions to Islam: Narratives of Religious Change in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire
Despite being one of the longest-lived Muslim-ruled states in world history, studies of Islam within the context of the Ottoman Empire are underrepresented in the scholarly literature, and tend to restrict their attention to a limited range of topics. Tijana Krstić's remarkable book is therefore a welcome addition. Krstić takes on the ambitious task of tracking the phenomenon of conversion to Islam in various regions of the Ottoman Empire from it…
Sufism and Society: Arrangements of the Mystical in the Muslim World, 1200–1800
In recent years, many historians of Islamic mysticism have been grappling in sophisticated ways with the difficulties of essentialism. Reconceptualising the study of Islamic mysticism during an under-researched period of its history, this book examines the relationship between Sufism and society in the Muslim world, from the fall of the Abbasid caliphate to the heyday of the great Ottoman, Mughal and Safavid empires. Treating a heretofore under-r…
Islamic Gunpowder Empires: Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals - By Douglas E. Streusand
The Great Expansion: From Regional Organization to Far-Flung Network, C. 1400–1600
By the turn of the ninth/fifteenth century to the eleventh/seventeenth century, the Halveti group expanded dramatically. This expansion was triggered by several factors, among which is the increased interest among Anatolian Turkish Muslims and the rise of the Ottoman Empire. This chapter provides an outline of how the Halveti order spread and its sub-branches multiplied, and how it took a position of widespread political, religious and social pow…

“Home Is Where the Shaykh Is”: The Concept of Exile in the Hagiography of İbrahim-i Gülşeni
The hagiographical narrative of the Halveti shaykh İbrahim-i Gülşeni, spanning a critical period in Islamic history when the shaykhs of Sunni mystical orders were pushed out of Iran and Azerbaijan to take up residence elsewhere, initially seems to be an excellent source for understanding how medieval thinkers reacted to the concept of exile. However, upon closer examination of the hagiographer and his work, we realize that it was not just the exi…

Diet, nutrition, and agricultural development in Swaziland. 3. Household economics and demography
Studies linking agricultural development with food consumption and nutrition have concentrated on cash cropping and on the effects of changes in income. This paper uses models drawn from Farming Systems and the new household economics to examine economic and demographic factors affecting diet and food consumption for progressive farmers in Swaziland. Production factors are more closely linked to food consumption than to nutritional status of eith…
Diet, nutrition, and agricultural development in Swaziland. 2. Patterns of food consumption
Because food is a link between household economics and health, food consumption is increasingly accepted as a measure of well‐being for rural households. This paper outlines food consumption patterns for a sample of rural Swazi households cooperating with the Swaziland Cropping Systems Project. Results are based on 24‐hour recall interviews with 110 women in cooperator households (1386 food‐consumption days). Dietary patterns show a high reliance…
Diet, nutrition and agricultural development in Swaziland. 1. Agricultural ecology and nutritional status
Despite the importance of diet and nutrition as indicators of household well‐being, few agricultural development projects have incorporated such concerns into their research or project objectives. This paper presents results of a nutrition and food consumption survey carried out by the Swaziland Cropping Systems Project as part of its research to assess conditions and constraints faced by small farmers. Anthropometric measurements show stunting t…
