摘要
阿拉伯城市贵族是中东政治舞台上的重要力量.纵观耶路撒冷的城市史,少数历史悠久、声望显赫的贵族家庭,在为奥斯曼帝国服务的过程中,确立了稳固的政治、经济和宗教特权.历经世代承袭,到帝国晚期演变为能够左右地方政治决策和抵御外部入侵的精英家族.19世纪末至20世纪上半叶,精英家族在与犹太复国主义和西方列强的博弈中,开始以阿拉伯人的视角重新审视自身和地缘环境,萌生了将家族利益、阿拉伯民族复兴观念和基于耶路撒冷圣地的宗教情结相结合的民族认同意识,并成为第一次世界大战前后巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人民族主义运动的领导阶层.与此同时精英家族自身的历史局限和派系斗争,也是导致巴勒斯坦民族独立事业发展曲折的重要因素.
