This book explores how modern Egyptians understand the Mamluks and
reveals the ways in which that historical memory is utilized for
political and ideological purposes. It specifically examines the
representations of the Mamluks from two historical periods: the
Mamluk Sultanate era (1250-1517) and the Mamluks under the Ottoman
era (1517-1811) focusing mostly on the years 1760-1811. Although
the Mamluks have had a great impact on the Egyptian collective
memory and modern thought, the subject to date has hardly been
researched seriously, with most analyses given to stereotypical
negative representations of the Mamluks in historical works.
However, many Egyptian historians and intellectuals presented the
Mamluk era positively, and even symbolized the Sultans as national
icons. This book sheds light on the heretofore-neglected positive
dimensions of the multifaceted representations of the Mamluks and
addresses the ways in which modern Egyptians utilize that
collective memory.
