Asyut in Modern Times: The Problem of Invisibility
If a major city, the major administrative capital of the south and an integral part of how the system reproduces itself, is invisible beyond an occasional passing reference in the familiar narrative of the history of a country, something has gone amiss. Such is the situation of Asyut, a city so invisible that even the English spelling of its name is elusive—variably Asyut, Assuit, Assiut, Siout, or even Essiout—sometimes appearing to be a deliber…
The Persistence of Orientalism: Anglo-American Historians and Modern Egypt
Arab Literary Exiles and Their Writing in Light of the Arab Spring
Before the era of globalization, the nation state produced intellectuals, some in its support, and some in opposition. Among the latter were those who could be termed literary exiles. Different kinds of states produced different kinds of intellectuals, and thus arose the possibility of a sociology of literary exile. Today, in the wake of the Arab Spring, with its unexpected resurgence of old-fashioned nationalism, the question arises whether scho…
Modern World History as the Rise of the Rich: A New Paradigm
This article argues that the old paradigm for modern world history given us by Hegel of the Rise of the West has been rendered less useful by the development of new knowledge over the past half century and as a result there is today a good deal of dissatisfaction among professional historians about its retention. What other options are there? This article suggests we try out the idea of the rise of the rich
An Attempt to get Beyond Huntington’s Polarity of Thought in the Case of Western Democracy and Islam-a Rethinking of Modern Egypt and Italy
Democracy over here, Islam, often taken to be synonymous with political Islam, o er there. This was the hypothesis of Samuel Huntingt n and doubtless of many others as well.1 And this, one might add, was not just any hy pothesis; it was a hypothesis which served and which continues to serve as a basis for foreign policy. However, as Professor Massimo Campanini has pointed out in this issue, as hypotheses go, it has not proven to be one that can b…
Cairo Notes
Many American scholars work in Cairo these days. For this reason, we pay more attention to Egyptian history-writing, to the situation of the archives as well as to newly discovered textual sources. I have compiled here a few notes along these lines. Published in late 2004, Mashayna khatti-sirah dhatiyah [Going My Way], (Cairo: Dar al-Hilal, 336 pp.), is an unusual work by the well-known Egyptian historian Raouf Abbas, which sold several thousand …

Political Economy as a Paradigm for the Study of Islamic History
Two frameworks of interpretation of history and society have long struggled with each other in the West and in the Islamic world: one is the modernization theory of the American type, aligned at times with the older orientalism, the other is some form of political economy. In the 1970s, the theory of political economy made a belated arrival in American intellectual life and still has scarcely the prestige it has in France, Germany, Italy, or the …

Modern Trends in Egyptian Historiography: A Review Article
The graduate history program of ‘Ayn Shams University has produced some of the finest scholarly studies in the field of Egyptian history in recent years.
