Through extensive archival research, she elucidates the domestic economy of the palace as well as the changing relationship between the ruling family of Tunis and the government, thus revealing how the private space of the palace mirrored the public political space. ?Instead of viewing the period as merely a precursor to colonial occupation and the nation-state as emphasized in precolonial or nationalist histories, this narrative moves away from images of stagnation and dependency to insist upon dynamism,? Kallander explains. She delves deep into palace dynamics, comparing them to those of monarchies outside of the Ottoman Empire to find persuasive evidence of a global modernity. She demonstrates how upper-class Muslim women were active political players, exerting their power through displays of wealth such as consumerism and philanthropy. Ultimately, she creates a rich view of the Husaynid dynastic culture that will surprise many, and stimulate debate and further research among scholars of Ottoman Tunisia. 606 $aWomen$zTunisia$xHistory 607 $aTunisia$xKings and rulers 607 $aTunisia$xHistory$y1516-1881 607 $aTunisia$xPolitics and government 607 $aTunisia$xCourt and courtiers$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 676 $a305.4821096110903 700 $aKallander$b Amy Aisen$f1978-$01532240 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788313703321 996 $aWomen, gender, and the palace households in Ottoman Tunisia$93778326 997 $aUNINA
