- Description
- This book offers an analysis of case studies on family violence between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, using court records as their main source. It raises questions for research on early modern Europe: the notion of absolute power: sovereignty and its applicability to familial power: the problem of violence and the possibility of its usage for conflict resolution both in public and private spaces: and the interconnection of gender and violence against women, reconsidered in the context of modern state formation as a public sphere and family building as a private sphere. Contributors bring together studies of domestic violence and spousal murder in Romania, England, and Russia, abduction and forced marriage in Poland, infanticide and violence against parents in Finland, and rape and violence against women in Germany.

- The book discusses the history of violence in past societies.

Previous histories stressing the masculine nature of past violence are questioned here: women perpetrated one-third of all assaults.

- Description
- Slavery in the history of the United States continues to loom large in American national consciousness, and the role of women in this chapter of the American past is largely under-examined. This encyclopedia focuses on the daily experiences and roles of female slaves in the United States, from colonial times to official abolition provided by the 13th amendment to the Constitution in 1865. The book contains 100 entries written by a range of experts and covering all aspects of daily life. Topics include culture, family, health, labor, resistance, and violence. Arranged alphabetically by entry, this look at history features life histories of lesser-known African American women, including Harriet Robinson Scott, the wife of Dred Scott, as well as more notable figures.

- Description
- This volume places female criminality within its everyday context. It reveals how their socio-economic and cultural contexts provided women with 'agency' against a range of European backdrops, despite a fundamentally patriarchal criminal justice system, and includes in-depth analysis of original sources to show how changing living standards, employment, schooling and welfare arrangements had a direct impact on the quality of life of working class women, their risk of becoming involved in crime, and the likelihood of being prosecuted for it.

- Description
- Most research has accepted stereotypical images of Muslim women, treating their outward manifestations, such as veiling, as passive and oppressive. By approaching widely used sources with different questions and methodologies, this book redresses these deficiencies. Contributors revisit and reevaluate scripture and scriptural interpretation: church records involving non-Muslim women of the Arab world: archival court records dating from the present back to the Ottoman period: and the oral and material culture and its written record, including oral history, textbooks, sufi practices, art and architecture and the politics of dress. Contains: History then, history now: the role of medieval Islamic religio-political sources in shaping the modern debate on gender : The Qur'an and history: Muslim women: public authority, scriptures, and 'Islamic Law': Gendered sources in ethnohistorical research: the study of emigration from an Lebanese village: Individualism and political modernity: devout Catholic women in Aleppo and Lebanon between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries: Women, patronage, and charity in Ottomon Istanbul: Consciousness of self: the Muslim woman as creator and manager of Waqf foundations in late Ottomon Damascus: Sources for the study of slave women and concubines in Ottoman Egypt: Thoughts on women and slavery in the Ottoman era and historical sources: Observations on the use of Shari'a court records as a source of social history: Mahkama records as a source for women's history: 'And God knows best': the Fatwa as a source for the history of gender in the Arab world: Gender violence in Kanunnames and Fetvas of the sixteenth century: Mixed and other courts: women and modern patriarchy: Islamic personal law in American courts: Learning gendered modernity: the home, the family, and the schoolroom in th construction of Egyptian national identity (1885-1919): The use of textbooks as a source of history for women: the case of turn-of-the-century Egypt: Sources on the education of Ottoman women in the Prime Ministerial Ottoman Archive for the period of reforms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: The history of the discourses on gender and islamism in contemporary Egypt (1908-1990): Female patronage of Mamluk architecture in Cairo: Islamic art as a source for the study of women in premodern societies: Discerning the Hand-of-Fatima: an iconological investigation of the role of gender in religious art: Oral traditions as a source for the study of Muslim women: women in the Sufi Orders: Political science without clothes: the politics of dress, or, contesting the spatiality of the state in Egypt.

- Description
- Two classic topics in social anthropology are combined in this work--the study of witchcraft and sorcery and the study of rumors and gossip. After revealing the importance of rumor and gossip as catalysts for accusations of witchcraft and sorcery, it demonstrates their role in the genesis of social and political violence, as seen in peasant rebellions, as well as witch-hunts. The study draws upon examples from Africa, Europe, India, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.
