Notes
This study is the first step in a broad project to study rural Jordan in the Ottoman era, relying on a large and direct group of sources. We have noticed the interest of historical studies in Jordan in cities and towns, so we moved towards studying rural Jordan, whose people represent the majority of Jordan’s population, and the countryside constitutes the main source of economic life based on agriculture. We chose the village of Al-Sarih in the Ottoman era as a model, because it is a village based on agriculture and extensive information is available about it in Ottoman sources, and we focused on land ownership, debts and real estate, to record the pattern. Life in rural Jordan during the Ottoman era. This study is the first installment in a large project to study the rural areas in Jordan during the Ottoman period, based on a large number of sources. One notices that historical studies have mainly been interested in cities and urban centers in Jordan, therefore, I intend to study the countryside in Jordan, where most of its inhabitants live. Because they are mainly farming areas, rural areas were the backbone of economic life in Jordan. I chose the village of Sareeh as a case study because it depended on farming at the time, and because Ottoman sources provide abundant information about it. To depict the type of life in the countryside in Jordan during the Ottoman period I concentrated on land ownership, debts, and real estate.
