Abstract: (393 Views) |
This research, using a descriptive-analytical method and data collection, also relies on Max Weber's theory of social stratification, examines the process of changing the social status of Iranian Mawali in the first two Islamic centuries. The main focus is on the cultural, economic, and political strategies of Mawali to confront the suppression of Arab identity and to enhance social status. The findings show that by influencing the power structure, improving the economic situation, and participating in political movements, the mawali were able to not only move from the margins to the context of Islamic society, but also become a distinct community in the developments of this period. This research, by analyzing the triple interaction of power, wealth, and status within the framework of Weber's theory, offers a new analysis of the cultural-social activism of the mawali. |
