"This book adds a new dimension to the ongoing discussions of
Egypt's nationalist response to colonialism--and to discussions of
colonialism and nationalism more generally. Dr. Powell demonstrates
cogently how central the issue of the Sudan was to Egyptian
nationalism right from the beginning--an aspect of the situation to
which historians have given far too little attention. That
colonized Egypt was itself a colonizer is a fact whose pervasive,
complex role in the Egyptian response to the British presence has
not been adequately appreciated. This study also enriches our
understanding of 19th and 20th-century Egyptian attitudes toward
slavery and toward race, showing how Egyptians really thought about
these matters below the level of policy and administration. The
findings in this area are particularly illuminating and important;
although they will certainly be controversial in some quarters,
they are firmly grounded in contemporary materials that are vivid,
eloquent, and fascinating. As a contribution to social history,
with important implications for political history as well, this
book is most impressive."--Everett K.Rowson, Associate Professor of
Arabic and Islamic Studies, University of Pennsylvania
