Bedouin Bureaucrats: Mobility and Property in the Ottoman Empire by Nora Elizabeth Barakat (review)
Yemen: Poverty and Conflict
Rebuilding Yemen: Political, Economic and Social Challenges
Law, Anthropology, and the Constitution of the Social: Making Persons and Things
Governing property, making the modern state: Law, administration and production in Ottoman Syria
Was "modernity" in the Middle East merely imported piecemeal from the West? Did Ottoman society really consist of islands of sophistication in a sea of tribal conservatism, as has so often been claimed? In this groundbreaking new book, Martha Mundy and Richard Saumarez Smith draw on over a decade of primary source research to argue that, contrary to popular belief, a distinctively Ottoman process of modernization was achieved by the end of the ni…

This paper presents a series of experiments with mapping information from the late nineteenth-century Ottoman property registers of the qada cAjlun, present North Jordan. As the product of a registry of real property, the tapu defters record rights to agricultural land, plantings, and buildings. This registration allows us to look both inwards to the working of the administration and outwards to the village. The present paper focuses on the latte…

Domestic government: Kinship, community and polity in North Yemen
This is an exploration of the notion of “household” as the site and organizing model, not only of production but also of politics in Yemen’s past and present. Based on three years’ fieldwork, the study is written from the vantage point of women’s society but, insisting that domestic government is not the same as women’s private domain, it is not confined to a study of women. Instead, Mundy links the idea and organization of the household with pro…
