Egypt’s Old Affliction of Aloof Rulers
Although official data suggest that Egypt avoided the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors have warned that the reality is far more grim. Their attempts to speak out have been met with harsh repression. A glance back at Egyptian history from the origins of the modern nation in the early nineteenth century reveals a consistent disregard for citizens’ health, apart from their usefulness as military conscripts

In Quest of Justice: Islamic Law and Forensic Medicine in Modern Egypt
In Quest of Justice provides the first full account of the establishment and workings of a new kind of state in Egypt in the modern period. Drawing on groundbreaking research in the Egyptian archives, this highly original book shows how the state affected those subject to it and their response. Illustrating how shari’a was actually implemented, how criminal justice functioned, and how scientific-medical knowledges and practices were introduced, K…
Towards a social history of modern Alexandria
The history of modern Alexandria is usually considered to begin with Muhammad 'Ali. In response to the Ibrahim Pasha's request, the entire European consular corps of Alexandria met and named a five-man committee, consisting of the consuls general of Britain, France, Austria, Tuscany, and Russia, to act as the first Quarantine Board. A freshwater canal, a dockyard, and a quarantine board: there may be very little connecting these diverse historica…
The Crisis of the Humanities in Egypt
This article studies the difficulties that befall the teaching of the humanities in Egyptian universities. It argues that as is the situation globally, the humanities are in crisis in Egypt. This crisis stems from a complete lack of support by public figures, antiquated pedagogical methods in universities, and distorted admissions policies that disadvantage the humanities. The dismal failure to encourage Egyptian university students to consider E…
Dissecting the Modern Egyptian State
On 24 January 2015, Shaymaʾ al-Sabbagh, a thirty-two-year-old mother of one and a member of the Egyptian Socialist People's Alliance Party, was walking with flowers in hand alongside her colleagues in a preauthorized march to Tahrir Square to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the January Revolution. Suddenly the police opened fire at close range and within a few minutes Shaymaʾ dropped dead. Despite strong evidence implicating the police, who…

The Anatomy of Justice: Forensic Medicine and Criminal Law In Nineteenth-century Egypt
The reform of the Egyptian criminal justice system in the nineteenth century traditionally has been viewed as forming an important step in the establishment of a liberal and just rule of law. By studying how forensic medicine was introduced into nineteenth-century Egypt, I argue that the need to exercise better control over the population and to monitor crime lay behind the reform process as much as liberal ideas borrowed from Europe did. Drawing…

Chapter 1. Women, Medicine, and Power in Nineteenth-Century Egypt
The era of Muhammad ’Ali Pasha, 1805–1848
The period of Muhammad 'Ali's reign, which started in 1805 when he was appointed by the Ottoman sultan as wali of Egypt and ended in 1848 with his deposition as a result of mental illness, offers one of the most interesting epochs of modern Egyptian history. During this period Egypt, while still forming a part of the Ottoman empire, assumed an increasingly independent stance, and was finally granted as a hereditary domain to Muhammad 'Ali by the …
Law, medicine and society in nineteenth-century Egypt
In the 1940s shaykh Hasanayn Muhammad Makhlûf, the chief muftî of Egypt, was asked to give his fatwâ on the following question : « According to the shari'a is it permitted to perform postmortem examination for scientific purposes or in criminal cases ? » After careful consideration, shaykh Makhlûf gave an affirmative answer to this question : Our opinion must be in accordance with the public good which agrees with the spirit of Islamic Law in eac…
The Nation and Its Deserters: Conscription in Mehmed Ali's Egypt
“Could a Nation, in any true sense of the word, really be born without war?” Such was the question raised by Michael Howard, the eminent Oxford military historian in a public lecture delivered on the topic of “War and the Nation State”. Looking generally at European history in the past two centuries he argued that war was indeed central for the appearance of the modern nation-state and that modern armies are somehow intimately linked to the rise …
