Download or read book The Englishwoman in Egypt written by Sophia Lane Poole and published by Echo Library. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophia Lane Poole was an English orientalist, the estranged wife of Edward Poole, and sister of the famous orientalist Edward William Lane. It was he who suggested that she and her sons join him in Egypt so that she could report on the female side of Egypt's gender segregated society, resulting in this book subtitled Letters from Cairo, Written During a Residence There in 1842, 3 & 4, which was published in 1845. The book contains large sections of her brother's previously unpublished work, altered so that it appears from her own perspective. Like her brother, Sophia adopted local customs and dress in order to gain acceptance in Egyptian social circles. She disliked the veiling which she always wore but it enabled her to enter harems, bathhouses and other "women only" areas, and the accounts of these in the book are all her own work.

Download or read book Policing Egyptian Women written by Liat Kozma and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing Egyptian Women delineates the intricate manner in which the modern state in Egypt monitored, controlled, and "policed" the bodies of subaltern women. Some of these women were runaway slaves, others were deflowered outside of marriage, and still others were prostitutes. Kozma traces the effects of nineteenth-century developments such as the expansion of cities, the abolition of the slave trade, the formation of a new legal system, and the development of a new forensic medical expertise on these women who lived at the margins of society.

Download or read book Female Voices and Egyptian Independence written by Rania M. Mahmoud and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a nuanced analysis of the ways in which Egyptian and British novels represent the Egyptian nationalist project in its struggle against British hegemony in the aftermath of two revolutions: the 1881-82 Urabi Revolution, known for inaugurating the British occupation of Egypt, and the 1919 Revolution celebrated in Egyptian national memory as the classic Egyptian revolution par excellence. Reading the novels against the grain, the study recovers female voices that are multiply marginalized, due to their gender and/or ethnicity, whether by colonial imperial powers, the nation, their immediate regional community or, finally, by the works under discussion themselves. Using a comparative lens, the study foregrounds the ways in which the authors confirm, critique, rewrite/revise, or reject developmental narratives. Female Voices and Egyptian Independence pays particular attention to women that range from the uneducated black slave, to the uneducated rural Siwan woman with artistic talent, to the wealthy cultured Coptic housewife, to the rising late nineteenth-century British female professional, and finally to the eclipsed twentieth-century Egyptian female national intellectual, all of whom play crucial roles in the journeys of the respective male protagonists, and by extension, the Egyptian national project.

Download or read book Medicine and Morality in Egypt written by Sherry Sayed Gadelrab and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Middle Eastern and Islamic societies, the politics of sexual knowledge is a delicate and often controversial subject. Sherry Sayed Gadelrab focuses on nineteenth and early-twentieth century Egypt, claiming that during this period there was a perceptible shift in the medical discourse surrounding conceptualisations of sex differences and the construction of sexuality. Medical authorities began to promote theories that suggested men's innate 'active' sexuality as opposed to women's more 'passive' characteristics, interpreting the differences in female and male bodies to correspond to this hierarchy. Through examining the interconnection of medical, legal, religious and moral discourses on sexual behaviour, Gadelrab highlights the association between sex, sexuality and the creation and recreation of the concept of gender at this crucial moment in the development of Egyptian society. By analysing the debates at the time surrounding science, medicine, morality, modernity and sexuality, she paints a nuanced picture of the Egyptian understanding and manipulation of the concepts of sex and gender.

Download or read book Making Cairo Medieval written by Nezar AlSayyad and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005-03-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During 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.
