Dina Rizk Khoury's book, which spans three centuries of Ottoman
history, offers an interpretation of relations between the central
Ottoman empire and the frontier city of Mosul during the early
modern period. Basing her work on Ottoman and Iraqi archival
sources, the author demonstrates that, contrary to the accepted
view, the links between the central state and provincial social
groups in fact grew stronger throughout the period. The development
and expansion of the system of tax farms and entitlements, for
example, bound the provincial service gentry, drawn from
mercantile, military and bureaucratic provincial families, to the
Ottoman state structure, notwithstanding the apparent weakening of
administrative controls. This comparative and broad-ranging book
will be of interest to Middle East historians and Ottomanists, as
well as to those concerned with the process of state formation in
the early modern period. Prizewinner - The British-Kuwait
Friendship Society prize in Middle Eastern studies
