Egypt, Islam, and the Arabs: The Search for Egyptian Nationhood, 1900-1930
ISBN: 9780195040968 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Throughout the 20th century, Egyptian nationalism has alternately revolved around three primary axes: a local Egyptian territorial nationalism, a sense of Arab ethnic-linguistic nationalism, and an identification with the wider Muslim community. This detailed study is devoted to the first major phase in the perennial debate over nationalism in modern Egypt--the territorial nationalism dominant in Egypt in the early 20th century. The first section of the book examines the effects of World War I and its aftermath, which temporarily gave rise to an exclusively Egyptianist national orientation in...

Pan-Arabism Before Nasser: Egyptian Power Politics and the Palestine Question
ISBN: 9780195123616 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book aims to alter profoundly the accepted version of the history of post-World War II Egyptian foreign policy. To this end, Doran convincingly demonstrates the absence of any true pan-Arab front from the very beginning of the Arab League. Reconsidering Cairo's policy decisions during the critical years from 1944 to 1948, he proves that Egyptian national interests were always placed before the united Arab front against Israel. Even while participating in the 1948 war with Israel, Egypt regarded Zionism and the Palestine Question as less important than achieving independence from Britain...

Colonial Land Policies in Palestine 1917-1936
ISBN: 9780199211081 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this book, Martin Bunton focuses on the way in which the Palestine Mandate was part of a broader British imperial administration - a fact often masked by Jewish immigration and land purchase in Palestine. His meticulous research reveals clear links to colonial practice in India, Sudan, and Cyprus amongst other places. He argues that land officials' views on sound land management were derived from their own experiences of rural England, and that this was far more influential on the shaping of land policies than the promise of a Jewish National Home.
