Shattering Tradition explores some of the ways in which the legal plurality of Islamic law, customary law and state law is dealt with in the societies of the Islamic Mediterranean. In Muslim societies religion and law are known to be intimately linked. While scholarly attention has been traditionally focused on Islamic law, all Muslim states have engaged in secular legislation and codification concentrating on customary law – which has hitherto been neglected. This groundbreaking series of empirical case studies investigates the varying ways in which different forms of law interrelate and it analyses how the tensions between them are resolved in local settings. Walter Dostal and Wolfgang Kraus have brought together contributions that combine an interdisciplinary approach with a strong grounding in social anthropology that deals with different parts of the Islamic Mediterranean in the widest sense. They discuss diverse topics such as: codification processes in the Ottoman Empire from the 15th century onwards; urban market organisation and its historical evolution; the principles of tribal customary law in the southern Hijaz; traditional legal practice and its transformations under colonial rule in a Moroccan Berber tribe; conflict resolution in the silver market of Sana'a and the mediating role of saints in the Hadramaut. Shattering Tradition makes vital reading to all those interested in the social anthropology of the Middle East and the wider study of law throughout the Islamic Mediterranean.

Few deny that in the Muslim world religion and law are intimately linked.However, local legal realities mean that Islamic law is often pushed out of the picture by customary law, which is usually tribal, and by state law.Shattering Tradition concentrates on customary law, which is the least investigated of the three, and considers the ruptures and potential for conflict in Muslim law as well as the continuities and interactions.Shattering Tradition is vital reading for all those interested in the social anthropology of the Middle East and the wider study of Islamic law. 'An impressive array of scholarship on Islamic law in action in historical and contemporary locations.Shattering Tradition is a timely demonstration of the flexibility and contexuality of Islamic law against the common conceptions of the Shari’a as a fixed canon.There is much useful material for the student and scholar.' - Sami Zubaida, Professor of Sociology at Birkbeck College, University of London; PDF; History & Transport > Humamities > Regional & national history > Asian history, University of Nevada Press<
