"[A] stimulating study....Her ideas concerning what Ottoman
inheritance documents reveal about society are novel, as are her
definitions of the bourgeoisies in late Ottoman history. The book
should interest not only students of Ottoman studies but also all
those concerned with the problem of Westernization in the Third
World, particularly sociologists."--CHOICE
"[A] valuable contribution to the neglected field of Ottoman social
history"--American Historical Review
"The book offers numerous innovative ideas about Ottoman
history."--Journal of Social History
"[A] stimulating, thought-provoking work"--The Journal of
Interdisciplinary History
"[A]n important contribution to the study of class formation and
social change. The book is concise yet rich in detail, well
researched, and grounded in historical evidence from both primary
and secondary sources."--American Journal of Sociology
"A mine of information, it has original, trenchant observations and
occasional profound insights. It also contains a rich and very
useful bibliography."--The Historian
