The household and its place in Ottoman Egypt's history -- pt. 2. Qazdag?li household-building strategies. 330 $aIn a lucidly argued revisionist study of Ottoman Egypt, first published in 1996, Jane Hathaway challenges the traditional view that Egypt's military elite constituted a revival of the institutions of the Mamluk sultanate. The author contends that the framework within which this elite operated was the household, a conglomerate of patron-client ties that took various forms. In this respect, she argues, Egypt's elite represented a provincial variation on an empire-wide, household-based political culture. The study focuses on the Qazdagli household. Originally, a largely Anatolian contingent within Egypt's Janissary regiment, the Qazdaglis dominated Egypt by the late eighteenth century. Using Turkish and Arabic archival sources, Jane Hathaway sheds light on the manner in which the Qazdaglis exploited the Janissary rank hierarchy, while forming strategic alliances through marriage, commercial partnerships and the patronage of palace eunuchs. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Islamic civilization. 517 3 $aRise of the Qazdaæglis 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zEgypt$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zEgypt$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aHouseholds$xPolitical activity$zEgypt$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPatron and client$zEgypt$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aSocial networks$zEgypt$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1517-1882 615 0$aElite (Social sciences)$xHistory 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory 615 0$aHouseholds$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aPatron and client$xHistory 615 0$aSocial networks$xHistory 676 $a305.5/2 700 $aHathaway$b Jane$f1962-$01016820 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248275903316 996 $aThe politics of households in Ottoman Egypt$92381227 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
