Law and identification transgressed political boundaries in the nineteenth-century Levant. Over the course of the century Italo-Levantines- elite and common- exercised a strategy of resilient hybridity whereby an unintentional form of legal imperialism took root in Egypt. This book contributes to a vibrant strand of global legal history that places law and other social structures at the heart of competing imperial projects- British Ottoman Egyptian and Italian among them. Analysis of the Italian consular and mixed court cases and diplomatic records in Egypt and Istanbul reveals the complexity of shifting identifications and judicial reform in two parts of the interactive and competitive plural legal regime. The rich court records show that binary relational categories fail to capture the complexity of the daily lives of the residents and courts of the late Ottoman empire. Over time and acting in their own self-interests these actors exploited the plural legal regime. Case studies in both Egypt and Istanbul explore how identification developed as a legal form of property itself. Whereas the classical literature emphasized external state power politics this book builds upon new work in the field that shows the interaction of external and internal power struggles throughout the region led to assorted forms of confrontation collaboration and negotiation in the region. It will be of interest to students scholars and readers of Middle East Ottoman and Mediterranean history. It will also appeal to anyone wanting to know more about cultural history in the nineteenth century and the historical roots of contemporary global debates on law migration and identities. | The Late Ottoman Empire and Egypt Hybridity Law and Gender
