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.
