Download or read book Seeking Bread and Fortune in Port Said written by Lucia Carminati and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-08-08 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking Bread and Fortune in Port Said probes migrant labor's role in shaping the history of the Suez Canal and modern Egypt. It maps the everyday life of Port Said's residents between 1859, when the town was founded as the Suez Canal's northern harbor, and 1906, when a railway connected it to the rest of Egypt. Through groundbreaking research, Lucia Carminati provides a ground-level perspective on the key processes touching late nineteenth-century Egypt: heightened domestic mobility and immigration, intensified urbanization, changing urban governance, and growing foreign encroachment. By privileging migrants' prosaic lives, Seeking Bread and Fortune in Port Said shows how unevenness and inequality laid the groundwork for the Suez Canal's making.

Download or read book International Canals written by Edward Arthur Whittuck and published by . This book was released on 1920 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In preparation for the peace conference that was expected to follow World War I, in the spring of 1917 the British Foreign Office established a special section responsible for preparing background information for use by British delegates to the conference. International Canals is Number 150 in a series of more than 160 studies produced by the section, most of which were published after the conclusion of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. Written by Edward Arthur Whittuck (1844-1924), a specialist in Roman and international law associated with the University of Oxford and the London School of Economics and Political Science, the study is one of relatively few in the series issued under the name of an individual author. The book is concerned with the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, "interoceanic canals," which, by virtue of their commercial and strategic importance, had acquired a special status under international law. The section on the Suez Canal discusses the background to the building of the canal, the legal and practical aspects regarding its protection, and the negotiations to internationalize the canal. The latter led to the conclusion of the Convention of 1888, signed by nine European powers, which stipulated that "the Suez Maritime Canal shall always be free and open, in time of war as in time of peace, to every vessel of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag." The section devoted to the Panama Canal covers the history of antagonism between the United States and Great Britain over the construction and operation of an isthmian canal in the Western hemisphere. It focuses on the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850 and the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty of 1901, which superseded the earlier agreement. A concluding section discusses the roles played by both canals during World War I. The appendix includes the texts of the main treaties governing the international legal status of the canals.
Download or read book Italy and the Suez Canal from the Mid nineteenth Century to the Cold War written by Barbara Curli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceived in the 1850s and opened to navigation in 1869, the Suez Canal’s construction coincided with Italy’s path to unification and its first foray into nineteenth-century globalization. Since then, the history of Italy and the Canal have intertwined in many ways, throughout in peace and war. This edited collection explores the fundamental technical, diplomatic and financial contributions that Italy made to the production of the Canal and to its subsequent development, from the mid-nineteenth century to the Cold War. Drawing from unpublished public and private archival sources, this book is the first comprehensive account of this long and multifaceted relationship, providing innovative perspectives on Italy’s diplomatic, economic, social, colonial and cultural history. An insightful read for those studying maritime, diplomatic or Italian history, this book contributes to a growing body of research on the Canal, which has largely emerged from international business, labour and social history, and offers new insights into the Euro-Mediterranean region.
