Egypt's was the first non-Western country to undergo an industrial
revolution. It was a major commercial center during the 19th and
early 20th centuries. It was one of the first countries to have
(albeit briefly) a constitutional government. Its struggle for
independence was among the earliest in the non-Western world. Its
capital, Cairo, has served as a headquarters and a meeting place
for nationalist leaders. Its schools and universities attracted
students from many other African and Asian countries. For the Arab
world, its educational and legal institutions set the pattern that
most other Arabic-speaking countries have followed. Its books,
magazines, and newspapers circulate widely. Its radio and
television broadcasting became the model for other Arab states. The
leadership of Jamal Abd al-Nasir and Anwar al-Sadat profoundly
influenced other Arab and Third World leaders. And the
demonstrations in Cairo's Tahrir Square became the iconic movement
for the so-called "Arab Spring" in the rest of the Middle East.
This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Egypt covers its
history from its emergence as an independent actor during the reign
of Ali Bey (1760-1772) up to and including the first two years of
the Arab Spring (February 2013). This is done through a chronology,
an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography.
The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on of
persons, events, institutions, political groups, economic and
social conditions, policies, relationships with other countries,
ideas, religions, ideologies, and commodities relevant to the
modern history of Egypt. This book is an excellent access point for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Egypt.
