Reviews
'It is usually assumed that the relations of nomads and the Ottoman state were a one-way street: the state ordered and the tribes revolted or obeyed. Talha Cicek's book shows us that the reality was much more ambivalent and interesting. This book is a pioneering exposition of a fascinating and complicated relationship between the Ottoman state and the Arab nomads in the 19th century.' Selim Deringil, Lebanese American University 'Cicek's fine study of the relations between the Ottoman government and major Arab nomadic groups lies at the cross-section of two booming fields: historical work on Bedouins and theoretical debates imperial centers and peripheries. Set in a wider comparative perspective and tapping into unused archival records, Cicek offers important new perspectives.' Ulrike Freitag, Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient 'This exemplary study based on impeccable archival research and exhaustive grasp of historical developments provides a fresh perspective on post-Tanzimat Ottoman policies regarding Arab nomads. It successfully demonstrates that the Ottoman center adopted a flexible and negotiable policy instead of a rigid principle with only one means of implementation vis-a-vis its tribal populations.' M. Sukru Hanioglu, Princeton University
