Macnin, a member of one of the most prominent Jewish families in Marrakesh, became the most important merchant for the sultans who ruled Morocco, and was their chief intermediary between Morocco and Europe. He lived in London for about twenty years, and then shuttled between Morocco and England for fifteen years until his death in 1835." "This book challenges accepted views of Muslim-Jewish relations by emphasizing the ambivalence in the relationship. It shows how elite Jews maneuvered themselves into important positions in the Moroccan state by linking themselves to politically powerful Muslims and by establishing key positions in networks of trade. The elite Jews of Morocco were also part of a wider Sephardi world that transcended national boundaries. However, Macnin remained more connected to Morocco, where Jews were, according to Islamic law, proteges of the ruler and still subject to specific legal disabilities. The early-nineteenth-century sultan Mawlay Sulayman confined Jews in a number of Moroccan cities to newly created Jewish quarters as part of a policy of defining boundaries between Muslims and Jews. Yet Macnin remained closely tied to royal power, and in 1822 he became the principal intermediary between Morocco and the European powers for Mawlay Sulayman's successor, Mawlay Abd al-Rahman."--Jacket. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Jews |zMorocco |zEssaouira |xHistory |y18th century. 650 0 Jews |zMorocco |zEssaouira |xHistory |y19th century. 600 10 Macnin, Meir. 650 0 Sephardim |zMorocco |xHistory |y18th century. 650 0 Sephardim |zMorocco |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Court Jews |zMorocco |xHistory |y18th century. 650 0 Court Jews |zMorocco |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Jewish merchants |zMorocco |xHistory |y18th century. 650 0 Jewish merchants |zMorocco |xHistory |y19th century. 651 0 Essaouira (Morocco) |xEthnic relations. 600 17 Macnin, Meir. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00480204 600 17 Macnin, Meir, |dapproximately 2.Hälfte d. 1760er Jahre-1835. |0(DE-588)124541232 |2gnd 600 37 Macnin, |cFamilie. |0(DE-588)124541143 |2gnd 600 17 Macnin, Meir. |2swd 600 07 Macnin |cFamilie. |2swd 648 7 1700-1899 |2fast 830 0 Stanford studies in Jewish history and culture. 856 42 |3Table of contents |uhttp://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=009890452&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA 856 42 |3Contributor biographical information |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0710/2002009241-b.html 856 42 |3Publisher description |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0710/2002009241-d.html 852 0 |bstacks |hDS135.M8 |iS37 2002
