This book has three main themes: the socio-economic history of
Turkish society in the 17th-18th centuries; the outcome of the
Tanzimat (Reforms) in the province of Jerusalem, as an example of
the whole phenomenon; and the historical origins of Turkish and
Arab identities leading to the modern phenomenon of nationalism.
Many of the studies are based on archival research, and the
documents give a new picture of the issues involved. Thus, women
were much more involved in the public arena and in economic life of
the city that formerly thought; the urban family at this time was
much smaller and nuclear-like, on the whole much more modern
looking than anticipated. In the same way, Turkish society was far
from being despotically oppressed by the Ottoman centre, with
several institutions existing in it that gave substance to the term
civil society. In the context of the 19th century it was found
that, judging by the case of the province of Jerusalem, the final
phase of the Tanzimat really tipped the balance in favour of the
success of this whole movement of Reform: Ottoman society and
Ottoman state became much more orderly and at ease with themselves
than before, or at least than the stormy decades of the early 19th
century. The final studies show that the Ottoman period and the
structure of the Ottoman state, more properly, exerted much
influence on the forms of nationalism that developed in the Middle
East after the Ottoman downfall.
