Mamluk Descendants

In search for the 'awlad al-nas'. Edited by Anna Kollatz. Research on the Mamluk period has so far remained relatively silent about the Mamluk descendants, who are often referred to by the Arabic term awad al-nas (roughly: children of the elite). After Ulrich Haarmann’s fundamental theses, research on this group seems to have paused, in comparison to the study dedicated to other social groups of Mamluk society. This volume brings together the results of an international conference and presents the state of the art in approaching the Mamluk descendants, whose emic perception as a group and social roles were far more differentiated and variable than previously assumed. With 9 contributions by Jo Van Steenbergen, Stephan Conermann, Mustafa Banister et al. 612 Seiten mit 27 Abb., gebunden (Mamluk Studies; Vol. 29/V&R unipress 2022) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
