Rami Ginat. Egypt and the Struggle for Power in Sudan
Early in his study Egypt and the Struggle for Power in Sudan: From World War II to Nasserism, Rami Ginat poses a question: Why were Egyptians so determined to hold on to control of neighboring Sudan?

The growing radicalism of working women during the latter phases of the First World War, marked especially by heavy female participation in the general strike of…
Methodological Approaches to Comparative Mining History
Laslett criticized Kerr and Siegel for seeing miners as universally strike-prone and radical because of their isolated work settings. He suggested that miners appeared more radical because their large numbers gave their politics an impact on local communities which was lacking in the case of workers in less concentrated industries.
