The Ottoman Land Code of 1858: How Palestine's Soil Was Lost
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the sweeping impact of the Ottoman Land Code of 1858 on Palestine — a law that reshaped land ownership and set the stage for decades of conflict. They dive into the concept of mushaa (communal ownership), the role of the tapu system, and how absentee effendis registered vast tracts while fellahin lost their ancestral plots. The conversation zooms in on the village of Beit Jibrin, where a single 1858 transaction transferred land from peasant families to a Jerusalem merchant. Lucas explains how the Code made land a commodity, fueling debt, dispossession, and early land sales to Zionist organizations. They also touch on the 1867 amendments and the 1892 Land Registry Law, showing how Ottoman reform inadvertently paved the way for future upheaval. With vivid detail and a human touch, this episode uncovers a pivotal legal shift that still echoes today.
