Ordinary Egyptians: Creating the Modern Nation Through Popular Culture
ISBN: 9780804772112 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The popular culture of pre-revolution Egypt did more than entertain--it created a nation. Songs, jokes, and satire, comedic sketches, plays, and poetry, all provided an opportunity for discussion and debate about national identity and an outlet for resistance to British and elite authority. This book examines how, from the 1870s until the eve of the 1919 revolution, popular media and culture provided ordinary Egyptians with a framework to construct and negotiate a modern national identity. Ordinary Egyptians shifts the typical focus of study away from the intellectual elite... The popular culture of pre-revolution Egypt did more than entertain--it created a nation.

Working Out Egypt: Effendi Masculinity and Subject Formation in Colonial Modernity, 1870-1940
ISBN: 9780822346623 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Working Out Egypt is both a rich cultural history of the formation of an Egyptian national subject in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth and a compelling critique of modern Middle Eastern historiography. Wilson Chacko Jacob describes how Egyptian men of a class akin to the cultural bourgeoisie (the effendiyya) struggled to escape from the long shadow cast by colonial depictions of the East as degenerate, feminine, and temporally behind an active and virile Europe. He argues that during British colonial rule (1882 1936), attempts to create a distinctively modern and...

Artisan Entrepreneurs in Cairo and Early-Modern Capitalism (1600-1800)
ISBN: 9780815632795 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Little has been written about the economic history of Egypt prior to its incorporation into the European capitalist economy. While historians have mined archives and court documents to create a picture of the commercial activities, networks, and infrastructure of merchants during this time, few have documented a similar picture of the artisans and craftspeople. Artisans outnumbered merchants, and their economic weight was considerable, yet details about their lives, the way they carried out their work, and their role or position in the economy are largely unknown. Hanna seeks to redress... Little has been written about the economic history of Egypt prior to its incorporation into the European capitalist economy. While historians have ... |

The 1973 Arab-Israeli War: The Albatross of Decisive Victory
ISBN: 9781780390222 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Six Day War of June 1967 saw the Israel Defense Force (IDF) achieve a decisive military victory over Egypt, Jordan, and Syria while sustaining relatively few casualties. Despite the subsequent image of Israel as a regional military superpower, Egypt attacked again in 1973, eventually resulting in a peace treaty that promised to return the entire Sinai to Egypt. It is the contention of "The 1973 Arab-Israeli War: The Albatross of Decisive Victory" that the IDFs dramatic 1967 victory unconsciously created an albatross in the form of a belief in its own invulnerability coupled with the...
