Olive Groves and Land Laws: The 1858 Ottoman Land Code in Palestine
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the 1858 Ottoman Land Code, a Tanzimat-era reform that reshaped the landscape of Palestine. The code, designed to regularize land registration and boost tax revenue, inadvertently privatized centuries-old communal lands, known as musha, and paved the way for large-scale land sales to Zionist buyers. Through the stories of the Sursock family, the fellahin, and the effendiya, we see how a legal technicality transformed the countryside and sowed seeds of later conflict. The episode unpacks terms like miri, tapu, and kushan, and traces how the code's legacy rippled into the British Mandate period. It's a tale of unintended consequences, where paperwork and property law became as powerful as any army.
