Opis

This work, appearing in English for the first time, outlines the formation of a landowning class in early-nineteenth century Egypt and continues through the 1800s to a time when the law on landholding gradually moved toward a legal formulation of private property. The work then traces landowners as they started to penetrate political and legislative structures to finally become the most influential social group by the first half of the twentieth century.
