Anthropology and Family History: the Ottoman and Turkish Families

Department of History of Muslim Countries at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

The kadi court records of the seventeenth-century Turkish city of Bursa are used to reconstruct, in an empirical way, the dominant family pattern for that period. An explanation for the identified pattern—the nuclear family—is then sought by means of comparisons with other family patterns in different socioeconomic and political contexts. The study also deals briefly with the implications of these findings for the current anthropological literature on the Turkish family.
