| Title | Family Waqf in Fez: Property, Charity, and the Neoliberal Turn |
| Summary | This thesis explores the discourse of family waqf (endowments) and charity in the city of Fez. It specifically looks at the contradictions and discourses produced by the confluence of charity, neoliberal policies, and the people’s imaginations of the “developed” future. It traces the historical and legal story of the family waqf from the colonial context, the nation-state building, and the neoliberal moment. It argues against nostalgic readings of family waqf as an “everlasting charity” to explore different conceptualizations of charity and waqf beyond static and nostalgic readings of Islamic endowments. These transformations are not to be read as opposites to Islam, but rather as “messy” and contradictory. |
