Drawing upon difficult-to-read Islamic court records in Arabic, as well as marriage and divorce registers, this study sheds light on the island's history of gender, social and racial identity.
Introduction; 1. The kadhi's courts colonised; 2. Race and the impartial modern judiciary; 3. The kadhis and gender; 4. Litigants and the kadhi's courts; 5. The kadhi's alienation and autonomy; 6. Marriage, materialism and temporary compliance; 7. Property, debt and inheritance; 8. Bargaining for divorce; 9. The kadhis, ethnicity and the perpetuation of master-slave relations; Conclusion.
