Moving from the general to the specific, the physical to the human, Raymond then deals with the people of these cities. Though North African examples are given—a small chapter on a proposed reconstruction of Algiers on the eve of the French occupation in 1830, and a larger chapter on 18th century Constantine—his focus is on Cairo; ten of the remaining twelve chapters deal with aspects of this Egyptian city. There is conjecture on the population of Cairo and its neighborhoods in the fifteenth century, the eve of Raymond's period. He comes up with the number 200,000 in 1500, but admits it is only a best guess. A useful chapter elucidates his thesis that the Egyptian economy suffered only a little from European competition up to the end of the eighteenth century; it leans on his Artisans et Commercemants au Caire au Will ieme Steele (1974). Raymond is arguably at his best in describing and analyzing city communities. Sufi lodges, guilds, religious sects, each were organized with shaykhs reporting to the government on issues from law and order to taxes and market inspection. How it actually worked is detailed in Chapter 5, "Urban Networks and Popular Movements," a discussion of late eighteenth-early nineteenth century Cairo and Aleppo, supplemented by Chapter 13, "Quartiers et movements populiare au Caire au XVIII eme siecle" and "The Role of the Communities (Tawa'if) in the Administration of Cairo in the Ottoman Period." A study of the Christians of Aleppo, a community which grew and prospered in the Ottoman centuries, raises the question of why they did so, while for example the Copts of Egypt stagnated. The entanglement of soldiers (the Janissaries in particular) in merchandising and business is reviewed. That it led by the end of the eighteenth century to an incapacitated army is understood. Precisely how it developed thus is another question, and Raymond works through estate documents supplemented by traditional Egyptian historians to make some interesting observations on this score. He then returns to aspects of the physical structures of Cairo with "Architecture and Urban Development: Cairo During the Ottoman Period, 1517-1798," The Residential Districts of Cairo's Elite [1300-1800]," and "The Rab: A Type of Collective Housing in Cairo during the Ottoman Period." A piece of traditional historiography on ' AH al-Shadhili, an Egyptian historian useful for understanding the revolt of 1711 (al-Jabarti copied large sections of his work) is appended. Anything by Andre Raymond, with his broad perspective after years of fine research, is useful. This is a must buy for libraries and anyone working in the Ottoman Arab world. At the same time, a small note: the origin of these articles is not always clear. Some are expanded, sometimes original, versions of previously published articles, or unpublished lectures. They are published here in different type fonts, which implies publication somewhere. A note on the origins of each would be useful. Jon Mandavil
从一般到具体，从肉体到人类，雷蒙德随后处理了这些城市的人们。尽管书中给出了北非的例子——1830年法国占领前夕阿尔及尔重建计划的一小章，以及18世纪君士坦丁的大章——但他的重点是开罗;剩下的12章中有10章是关于这个埃及城市的。15世纪，也就是雷蒙德时期的前夜，人们对开罗及其周边地区的人口进行了推测。他在1500年提出了20万这个数字，但他承认这只是一个最好的猜测。有一个有用的章节阐明了他的论点，即直到18世纪末，埃及经济在欧洲竞争中只受到很小的影响;它借鉴了他的《工匠与商业》(Artisans et commerciants au aire au Will ieme Steele, 1974)。雷蒙德在描述和分析城市社区方面可以说是最出色的。苏菲教派、行会、宗教派别，每一个都由谢赫组织起来，向政府报告从法律和秩序到税收和市场检查等问题。第5章“城市网络和民众运动”详细介绍了它是如何运作的，这是对18世纪末至19世纪初开罗和阿勒颇的讨论，第13章补充了“18世纪开罗的居民区和民众运动”和“奥斯曼帝国时期开罗管理中的社区(Tawa'if)的作用”。阿勒颇的基督徒群体在奥斯曼帝国的几个世纪里发展壮大，对他们的研究提出了一个问题:为什么他们会这样做，而埃及的科普特人却停滞不前?回顾了士兵(特别是禁卫军)在商品和商业中的纠缠。这导致了十八世纪末一支无能的军队，这是可以理解的。它究竟是如何发展成这样的是另一个问题，雷蒙德通过查阅遗产文件，并辅以传统的埃及历史学家，在这方面做出了一些有趣的观察。然后，他又回到了开罗的物理结构方面，写了《建筑与城市发展:1517-1798年奥斯曼帝国时期的开罗》、《开罗精英住宅区[1300-1800年]》和《拉布:奥斯曼帝国时期开罗的一种集体住房》。一篇关于“AH al-Shadhili”的传统史学对理解1711年的起义很有帮助(al-Jabarti复制了他的大部分作品)。安德烈·雷蒙德(Andre Raymond)经过多年细致的研究，以其广阔的视角所写的任何东西都是有用的。这是图书馆和任何在奥斯曼阿拉伯世界工作的人必须购买的。同时，一个小提示:这些文章的出处并不总是很清楚。有些是以前发表的文章或未发表的讲座的扩展版本，有时是原创版本。它们在这里以不同的字体发布，这意味着在某个地方发布。对每个单词的起源做个说明会很有用。Jon Mandaville，波特兰州立大学

Another interesting subject, mentioned only briefly, is the topic of passive resistance. The women talk about planting gardens, doing laundry outside and lining it to dry, turning their dilemma into jokes, and even the man who delivers bread on bicycle, all under the watchful and hostile eyes of the Israeli military and under the threat and risk of being shot. They insist on presenting themselves in public space, refusing to disappear. Finally, the film is full of contradictions that would be exciting to investigate. For instance, the Palestinians blame the English for creating the Palestinian Curse while they sip and drink English tea; they express total hatred for the Israelis while discussing possible avenues to bring about an acceptable resolution; they also recognized that while their occupation is extremely humiliating and unjust, curfews help to bring them closer to their children and unite their people. What will happen when this unfortunate uniting factor is no longer there? We already see a glimpse of this in the internal unraveling of the Palestinian political system!

infrastructure are followed by existent and desired economic reforms. This section is a concrete demonstration of economic deficiency, but would benefit from an analysis of demographic factors, such as age, sex distribution, population size, and mortality and fertility trends that have an effect on the structure and size of the workforce and are crucial in analyzing the trends in population growth and participation in the workforce. In addition, the author's measurements of wealth distribution and class analysis are helpful in understanding production and market relations and their effects on economic environment. The concluding section of this work focuses on Saudi politics and foreign policy. It complements the first chapter, touching upon the issues of security, and reiterates the importance of oil reserves to the international community. Niblock examines challenges of international terrorism and the bittersweet alliance with the United States, Throughout the last fifty-five years the US conveniently overlooked factors contradicting the core of its democratic values. However, the events of 9/11 forced both countries to accept their irreconcilable ideologies. The author concludes that to ensure a regime's survival the Saudi government has to strengthen its democratic legitimacy. Niblock's book is complex and provocative, yet captivating and easy to read in its analysis of the political system in Saudi Arabia. It deserves attention from both sophisticated scholars as well as the average reader. The layout of the book acquaints the readers with two maps of Saudi Arabia, one highlighting the administrative divisions and the other focusing on the towns and communications within the country. Two other helpful features in the beginning of the book are the historical time line, as well as the abbreviations readers will encounter throughout the book. This book is certainly worth reading.
