Her thoughtful reconsideration of relationships between Istanbul, local elites, and traditional notables transforms the narrative of these critical centuries. Her meticulous research and original arguments make a significant contribution, not only to the history of Tunisia, the Maghreb, and the Ottoman Empire, but also to Mediterranean history writ large.""—Julia Clancy-Smith, The University of Arizona ""Blili has excavated many details about the political contestations of the late Hafsid and early Ottoman eras, bringing to life the men holding positions of authority in Tunis. Along the way, she indicates the recurrence of marriage alliances between political contenders and local families, painstaking work that also is presented in eight genealogical charts featuring some of the most prominent men of the ruling class. The fast-paced narration and short chapters make the text accessible and full of insights for scholars interested in the political elite of Tunis in the 16th and 17th centuries.""—International Journal of Middle East Studies ""[P]rovides innovative and provocative insights into the more than century-long process of Tunisia's attachment to the Ottoman Empire, as well as a valuable contextualization, ranging far beyond Tunisia itself, of the environment and circumstances in which this process played out.""—Journal of Islamic Studies """Leïla Blili's work on Ottoman Tunisia is a scholarly tour de force.
