La 4e de couverture indique :"The Ottomans ruled much of the Arab World for four centuries.
Bruce Masters's work surveys this period, emphasizing the cultural and social changes
that occurred against the backdrop of the political realities that Arabs experienced
as subjects of the Ottoman sultans. The persistence of Ottoman rule over a vast area
for several centuries required that some Arabs collaborate in the imperial enterprise.
Masters highlights the role of two social classes that made the empire successful:
the Sunni Muslim religious scholars, the ulama, and the urban notables, the acyan.
Both groups identified with the Ottoman sultanate and were its firmest backers, although
for different reasons. The ulama legitimated the Ottoman state as a righteous Muslim
sultanate, while the acyan emerged as the dominant political and economic class in
most Arab cities due to their connections to the regime. Together, the two helped
to maintain the empire"--
