The household and its place in Ottoman Egypt's history -- pt. 2. Qazdağli household-building strategies.In a lucidly argued revisionist study of Ottoman Egypt, first published in 1996, 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.Cambridge studies in Islamic civilization.Rise of the QazdaæglisElite (Social sciences)EgyptHistory18th centuryPower (Social sciences)EgyptHistory18th centuryHouseholdsPolitical activityEgyptHistory18th centuryPatron and clientEgyptHistory18th centurySocial networksEgyptHistory18th centuryEgyptHistory1517-1882Elite (Social sciences)HistoryPower (Social sciences)HistoryHouseholdsPolitical activityHistoryPatron and clientHistorySocial networksHistory305.5/2Hathaway Jane1962-1016820UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996248275903316The politics of households in Ottoman Egypt2381227UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
