In early 20th-century Yemen, a sizable Jewish population was
subject to sumptuary laws and social restrictions. Jews regularly
came into contact with Islamic courts and Muslim jurists, by choice
and by necessity, became embroiled in the most intimate details of
their Jewish neighbors lives. Mark S. Wagner draws on
autobiographical writings to study the careers of three Jewish
intermediaries who used their knowledge of Islamic law to
manipulate the shari a for their own benefit and for the good of
their community. The result is a fresh perspective on the place of
religious minorities in Muslim societies."
