Masters explores the history of Christians and Jews in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman empire and how their identities as non-Muslims evolved over four hundred years. At the start of this period, in the sixteenth century, social community was circumscribed by religious identity and non-Muslims lived within the hierarchy established by Muslim law. In the nineteenth century, however, in response to Western influences, a radical change took place. Conflict erupted between Muslims and Christians in different parts of the empire in a challenge to that hierarchy. This marked the beginning, as the author illustrates, of the tensions which have to a large extent inspired the nationalist and religious rhetoric in the empire's successor states throughout the twentieth century. In this way, Masters negotiates the present through the past. His book will make a major contribution to an understanding of the political and religious conflicts of the modern Middle East.

Studies of early-modern Islamic cities have stressed the atypical or the idiosyncratic. This bias derives largely from orientalist presumptions that they were in some way substandard or deviant. The first purpose of this volume is to normalize Ottoman cities, to demonstrate how, on the one hand, they resembled cities generally and how, on the other, their specific histories individualized them. The second purpose is to challenge the previous literature and to negotiate an agenda for future study. By considering the narrative histories of Aleppo, Izmir and Istanbul, the book offers a departure from the piecemeal methods of previous studies, emphasizing their importance during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and highlighting their essentially Ottoman character. While the essays provide an overall view, each can be approached separately. Their exploration of the sources and the agendas of those who have conditioned scholarly understanding of these cities will make them essential student reading.

The Ottomans ruled much of the Arab World for four centuries. Bruce Masters's work surveys this period, emphasizing the cultural and social changes that occurred against the backdrop of the political realities that Arabs experienced as subjects of the Ottoman sultans. The persistence of Ottoman rule over a vast area for several centuries required that some Arabs collaborate in the imperial enterprise. Masters highlights the role of two social classes that made the empire successful: the Sunni Muslim religious scholars, the ulama, and the urban notables, the acyan. Both groups identified with the Ottoman sultanate and were its firmest backers, although for different reasons. The ulama legitimated the Ottoman state as a righteous Muslim sultanate, while the acyan emerged as the dominant political and economic class in most Arab cities due to their connections to the regime. Together, the two helped to maintain the empire.

In this book, the author, Professor John Masters, traces the Ottoman rule of the Arab lands for four centuries extending from 1516 to 1918, and presents a comprehensive, impartial survey of the political, economic, and social conditions in the Arab lands during Ottoman rule. It also deals with the ways the Ottoman Empire managed and governed the Arab lands that remained under their rule for four centuries. The writer addresses the role of the clergy in granting legitimacy to the Ottoman sultans in their rule of the Arab states, and also sheds light on the historical experience of Arab Muslims with Ottoman rule. It refers largely to the sectarian conflicts, revolutions, riots, and rebellions that ravaged the Arab region during the period of Ottoman rule, and the ways the Ottomans dealt with them through repression at times or with compromise solutions at other times. The book also discusses the issue of the Sultanate and the Caliphate. This book can be an important source and historical reference of great benefit to researchers and students of the history of the Arabs and their relationship with the Ottoman Empire, due to its reliance on a huge amount of reliable Arab and Turkish historical sources in tracking the course of events and their precise details, as well as its neutrality in presenting matters and events and calling things by their proper names, away from... Bias towards one side at the expense of another. The translator made a great effort in translating it by tracing the Turkish nomenclature for many procedures and names that were common at the time and are no longer used in our modern era.
