DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese pages challenge a historical heresy. They refuse to join in the chorus led by Milner, Colvin, and Cromer, and to agree that Ismail Pasha, the first Khedive of Egypt, was a spendthrift, a voluptuary, and a thief. Not even great names can stand up against facts and figures culled from official sources.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis groundbreaking study illuminates the Egyptian experience of modernity by critically analyzing the foremost medium through which it was articulated: history. The first comprehensive analysis of a Middle Eastern intellectual tradition, Gatekeepers of the Past examines a system of knowledge that replaced the intellectual and methodological conventions of Islamic historiography only at the very end of the nineteenth century. Covering more than one hundred years of mostly unexamined historucal literature in Arabic, Yoav Di-Capua explores Egyptian historical thought, examines the careers of numerous critical historians, and traces this tradition's uneasy relationship with colonial forms of knowledge as well as with the post-colonial state.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe nineteenth century marked a new era in the history of Cairo and Egypt as a whole. This dissertation examines the implementation of the project of modernizing Cairo in the second half of the nineteenth century. Although Egypt at that time was still part of the Ottoman Empire, its ruler Khedive Ismail (1863--1879) exerted immense efforts to upgrade his capital city and the life of its citizens with the ambition to make Cairo and Egypt part of the modern world. In doing so, Egypt indeed implemented the "project of modernity" while looking at the West for inspiration. However, I argue that this could be only seen as a form of "Egyptian modernity" and not a mere replication of a Western model.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring the nineteenth century, Cairo witnessed once of its most dramatic periods of transformation. Well on its way to becoming a modern and cosmopolitan city, by the end of the century, a 'medieval' Cairo had somehow come into being. While many Europeans in the nineteenth century viewed Cairo as a fundamentally dual city—physically and psychically split between East/West and modern/medieval—the contributors to the provocative collection demonstrate that, in fact, this process of inscription was the result of restoration practices, museology, and tourism initiated by colonial occupiers. The first edited volume to address nineteenth-century Cairo both in terms of its history and the perception of its achievements, this book will be an essential text for courses in architectural and art history dealing with the Islamic world.
