Family and Court: Legal Culture and Modernity in Late Ottoman Palestine - Middle East Studies Beyond Dominant Paradigms
Iris Agmon
The popular image of the family and the court of law in Muslim societies is one of traditional, unchanging social frameworks. The author suggests a different view. This book challenges assumptions about family, courts of law, and the nature of modernity in Muslim societies against the backdrop of Haifa and Jaffa during the long 19th-century.
