Feudalism across the medieval and modern Middle East

A. N. Poliak examines feudal relations in Egypt, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon across the period 1250–1900. The six-part structure moves from Mamluk troops and fiefs to the decline of military fiefs, the farming of crown domains, serfdom and the end of feudalism. Together, these topics frame the book as a study of how landholding, military organization and social relations developed across the region over several centuries. The description also connects this historical inquiry with the persistence of feudal relationships in later society, while its contents offer a clear thematic route through the subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students of Arab and Middle Eastern history
  • Readers studying Mamluk institutions, landholding or serfdom
  • Those exploring Arabic historical sources
