Donaldson, William J.

8vo. xvi, [1], 278 pp., figures, English text with some Arabic, cloth in d/w, tables, notes, appendices, biblio, index, copy in very good condition, E. J. Brill, Leiden, first edition, 2000.

This book discusses sharecropping in the Yemen against the background of Islamic law and customary law. Sharecropping is particularly interesting in Islam since its basis (rent as a proportion of an unknown future harvest) is ostensibly inconsistent with the Islamic prohibition against transactions involving 'gharar' (risk of uncertainty).
