A History of Egypt
Egypt occupies a central position in the Arab world. Its borders between sand and sea have existed for millennia and yet, until 1952, the country was ruled by foreigners. Afaf al-Sayyid Marsot explores the paradoxes of Egypt's history in a new edition of her successful A Short History of Modern Egypt. Charting the years from the Arab conquest, through the age of the Mamluks, Egypt's incorporation into the Ottoman Empire, the liberal experiment in…

The British Occupation of Egypt from 1882
Many contemporaries doubted neither the necessity nor the ultimate success of Britain's intervention in Egypt, designed to overcome the economic and political crisis of 1875–82. That there was some truth in Milner's description of Egypt's position on the eve of Britain's invasion is clear from the broad outlines of Britain's nineteenth century involvement with Egypt. British government pronouncements suggested that Britain's occupation was tempor…

Women and Men in Late Eighteenth-Century Egypt
Women and Men in Late Eighteenth-Century Egypt
In the late eighteenth century, decentralized and chaotic government in Egypt allowed women a freedom of action that has not been equaled until recent times. Delving extensively into archival sources, Afaf Marsot presents the first comprehensive picture of women's status and opportunities in this period. Marsot makes important connections between forms of government, economic possibilities, and gender relations, showing how political instability …
Mud-Slinging Egyptian Style
let off steam, show that she was not to be pushed around by anyone and to heighten her standing among the watchers of the incident as a woman with backbone, une femme de poigne, as the French would say. The man had long since disappeared before she had finished her first sentence, so the flow of insults was really for the edification of the passers-by and only peripherally to insult him. Among the flow of words thrown at him were what I assumed t…

Egypt in the Reign of Muhammad Ali
This account of Egyptian society in the reign of Muhammad Ali traces the beginnings of the nation state in Egypt. It considers Muhammad Ali as part of a social group whose economic interests led them in the direction of trade with Europe as a means of raising money for further investments. They attempted to increase agricultural exports and to use the profits to create industry; then, following the logic of imperialists, their next step was to se…

The Porte and Ismail Pasha's Quest for Autonomy
Historians in the past have tended to examine the reign of the Khedive Ismail in Egypt (18631879) by using one of two approaches. In the first approach Ismail's actions were examined within the framework of Egypt, and purely in a local context, as in Abd al-Rahman al-Rafii's work, Asr Ismail (1932). In the second approach Ismail's reign is studied in the context of the Eastern Question, that is, as a by-product of European history and Anglo-Frenc…
The Cartoon in Egypt
The history of the pictorial cartoon is a very recent one in Egypt, dating from the late nineteenth century when the popular press was established. Like many newspapers founded at the time, the 1870s, the cartoon began as an expression of growing feelings of antagonism towards the ruler, in the hands of a few men who formed the intelligentsia of the day. They set about to create and direct a public opinion which was then nonexistent, but which th…

Egyptian Historical Research and Writing on Egypt in the 20th Century
A few years ago the Egyptian government appointed a committee of historians with a mandate to re-write the history of Egypt, making it commensurate with current needs. Those who opposed the plan raised indignant cries of ‘revisionism’ on the one hand, to be countered by equally heated accusations on the part of those who were in favour of the undertaking that much of the works of the past had been mostly white-wash attempts, or panegyrics address…
