Egyptian by Association
In this article I argue that the Egyptian state emerged as a welfare provider in the mid-20th century, first by depending on the services of charitable societies to feed, educate, and provide medical assistance to the poor, and later by imitating and harnessing the activities of charitable societies. Drawing on correspondence between the state and service societies from the 1880s to 1945, when King Faruq (r. 1936–52) granted the Egyptian Ministry…

Charity in Islamic Societies, by Amy Singer
This is an engaging introduction to charitable practices in the Islamic world. The book is not a history of the ways in which Muslims have engaged in charity over the centuries; rather, it uses episodes in Islamic history to examine how charity has developed as both a religious ideal and as a social practice. In doing so, Amy Singer pays keen attention to ‘shared texts and divergent practices of charity in the history of Islamic societies’ (p. 18…
Every stone tells a story
This article analyses the uses made by seventeenth-century travellers to the Greek world of their knowledge of classical texts. It refers to a range of travellers—in particular, Levant Company employees and individual adventurers or gentlemen travellers—and describes their educational background. It discusses the various purposes for which they incorporated quotations from and references to classical literature in the texts which resulted from th…
From Husbands and Housewives to Suckers and Whores
This article traces the transformation in the symbolic role of the modern, bourgeois Egyptian home and the political and personal relationships it allegedly engendered, showing that what had originally appeared as promising became the potential site of treason and deceit. The article relies on archival materials, political caricatures and articles from the popular press. Beginning with an assessment of the political discourse of 1919, it then ill…
Family Follies
“The wife: I bet your friends envy you your domestic happiness!” Reprinted with permission of Mohammed Elchamaa. This cartoon comes from a 1948 edition of the Egyptian periodical Akhir Saʿa . I happened across it in Cairo, as part of some exploratory research into the fate of the female image of the Egyptian nation-state that was so central to the 1919 revolution. In previous inquiries, I had noticed that “lady Egypt” or “mother Egypt” or “Egypt …
Nurturing the Nation
Focusing on gender and the family, this erudite and innovative history reconsiders the origins of Egyptian nationalism and the revolution of 1919 by linking social changes in class and household structure to the politics of engagement with British colonial rule. Lisa Pollard deftly argues that the Egyptian state's modernizing projects in the nineteenth century reinforced ideals of monogamy and bourgeois domesticity among Egypt's elite classes and…

The Family Politics of Colonizing and Liberating Egypt, 1882-1919
This essay examines how crucial the domicile, both real and ideal, and its inhabitants were to the construction of an independent body politic in turn-of-the-century Egypt. As a riposte to colonialism, a discourse of modernity, and a vehicle through which knowledge was shaped and disseminated, the reform of Egypt's homes and families was central to the process through which middle- and upper-class Egyptians defined themselves and their political …
