[ED: Hardcover], [PU: Cambridge University Press], In a lucidly argued revisionist study of Ottoman Egypt, Jane Hathaway challenges the traditional view that Egypt's military elite constituted a revival of the institutions of the Mamluk sultanate. The author contends that the framework within which this elite operated was the household, a conglomerate of patron-client ties that took various forms. In this respect, she argues, Egypt's elite represented a provincial variation on an empire-wide, household-based political culture. The study focuses on the Qazdagli household. Originally, a largely Anatolian contingent within Egypt's Janissary regiment, the Qazdaglis dominated Egypt by the late eighteenth century. Using Turkish and Arabic archival sources, Jane Hathaway sheds light on the manner in which the Qazdaglis exploited the Janissary rank hierarchy, while forming strategic alliances through marriage, commercial partnerships and the patronage of palace eunuchs. Table of contents: Introduction 1. Egypt's place in the Ottoman Empire Part I. The Household and its Place in Ottoman Egypt's History: 2. The household 3. Transformations in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Egyptian society 4. The emergence and partnership of the Qazdagli and Jalfi households 5. The ascendancy of Ibrahim Kahya al-Qazdagli and the emergence of the Qazdagli Beylicate Part II. Qazdagli Household-Building Strategies: 6. Marriage alliances and the role of women in the household 7. Property and commercial partnerships 8. The Qazdaglis and the Chief Black eunuch 9. Conclusions. In a lucidly argued revisionist study of military society in Ottoman Egypt, Jane Hathaway contends that the basic framework within which this elite operated was the household, a conglomerate of patron-client ties. Using Turkish and Arabic archival sources, the author focuses on the Qazdagli household, a military group that came to dominate Egypt. This pioneering study will have a major impact on the understanding of Egyptian history, and will be essential reading for scholars in the field, and for pre-modern historians generally. In a lucidly argued study of military society in Ottoman Egypt, Jane Hathaway contends that the basic framework within which this elite operated was the household, a conglomerate of patron-client ties. 216 pages - 10 tables 4 maps 1 genealogical table Versandfertig in 3-5 Tagen, DE, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten)<
