"The Great Social Laboratory" charts the development of the human
sciences--anthropology, human geography, and demography--in late
nineteenth- and twentieth-century Egypt. Tracing both intellectual
and institutional genealogies of knowledge production, this book
examines social science through a broad range of texts and cultural
artifacts, ranging from the ethnographic museum to architectural
designs to that pinnacle of social scientific research--"the
article."
Omnia El Shakry explores the interface between European and
Egyptian social scientific discourses and interrogates the
boundaries of knowledge production in a colonial and post-colonial
setting. She examines the complex imperatives of race, class, and
gender in the Egyptian colonial context, uncovering the new modes
of governance, expertise, and social knowledge that defined a
distinctive era of nationalist politics in the inter- and post-war
periods. Finally, she examines the discursive field mapped out by
colonial and nationalist discourses on the racial identity of the
modern Egyptians.
