State and Peasants in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Egypt: Some Archival Sources for the Study of Egyptian Rural History
This article identifies some of the sources that are helpful for the study of peasant society in mid-nineteenth-century Egypt. In describing each of these sources, which involves specifying the nature of the data documented by a source, it highlights the potential use of each source and its limitations. It concludes that the examination of a combination of archival sources, rather than just one, enables the researcher to address some of the limit…
Salafi Women in Contemporary Egypt: The Politics of Integration
Brothers in arms: Visual Commonalities Between Us and Is Recruitment Strategies
This article claims that the visual image contributes to, reflects and supports the dominant discourse of two powerful armed groups that have operated in Iraq and Syria: the US military and the Islamic State (IS). This research uses multimodal discourse analysis to explore two crucial insights into the ideological power of the visual image: the power of the image as spectatorship or spectacle and the sublime or transcendental nature of the visual…
Peasant Women and Rights to Land in Nineteenth Century Egypt: Sites of Resistance
The literature on nineteenth-century Egyptian women includes two important themes: one, the tendency of women to resist patriarchy; and two, the ostensibly negative impact of state modernization projects on women. This essay’s exploration of patterns of female land acquisition during the mid-century decades challenges these depictions. It argues that the number of peasant women landholders remained low during the nineteenth century because of the…
The Nour Party: Weathering the Political Storm in Post-Revolutionary Egypt
This article addresses the role of the Salafi Nour party in the current Egyptian political arena, examining its ability to survive in a tumultuous environment by investigating three junctures in the revolutionary and post-revolutionary period: the January 2011 demonstrations, the ouster of President Muhammad Morsi, and the 2015 parliamentary elections. The investigation relied on two theoretical approaches. The first, framing theory, enabled us t…
On Justice: Peasants, Petitions and the State in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Egypt
The historiography on peasant–state relations in agricultural societies includes the recognition of peasants as actors in their own right that did not wait passively to be acted upon by the ruling elite. Yet, most often, these discussions examine peasant–state relations within the framework of peasant mistrust of and resistance to the state. This paper focuses on peasant petitioning practices in mid-nineteenth-century Egypt and seeks to present a…
Land Acquisition by the Peasants of Mid-Nineteenth Century Egypt: The Ramya System
In studying peasant acquisition, or conversely dispossession, of land in mid-nineteenth century Egypt one realizes the prominent role of the state in these processes. The position of the current literature on this issue can be summed up accordingly. Repeated high tax increases combined with onerous corvee demands led to the peasants' impoverishment, which entailed the dispossession of many's lands. As the government insisted on resuming the colle…
