Re:viewing Egypt Image and Echo

Photographs by Xavier RoyText by Gamal al-GhitaniA unique and surprising photographic presentation that invites us to look twice

Xavier Roy’s breathtaking photographs of Egyptoffer us a haunting vision of a country and its peo-ple. They are also a lesson in the art of photography itself, inviting us to experience images as metaphor,to extend our notions of reality. We observe thecorrespondences of shape and texture, perspectiveand repetition, light and shadow, and the vitalityin the mundane and commonplace. A photographof an acacia tree is juxtaposed with one of birdsin flight, their formation and movement echoingthe outline and feather-like aspect of the tree. Eachphotograph is at once an offer of tranquility anda call to interpret.

Gamal al-Ghitani’s profoundly contemplativeintroduction is both inspiring and inspired by Roy’sgallery of images, compelling us to observe Egypt’sriches not as passive onlookers, but as engaged,reflective beings.

Xavier Roy’s photographs have been exhibited in France,New York, and Brazil, and his books include The Soul ofCuba and All Our Children. Gamal al-Ghitani is the author of The Mahfouz Dialogs(AUC Press, 2007), and The Zafarani Files (AUC Press,2009).

Mamluk Historythrough ArchitectureMonuments, Culture, and Politicsin Medieval Egypt and Syria

Nasser Rabbat A new approach to understanding Mamluk societyand culture by a leading historian

The most enduring testament to the Mamluk sul-tanate is its architecture. Not only do Mamluk build-ings embody one of the most outstanding medievalarchitectural traditions, Mamluk architecture is actu-ally a key to the social history of the period.

Analyzing Mamluk constructions as a form ofcommunication and documentation as well as a cultural index, Mamluk History through Architectureshows how the buildings mirror the complex—andhistorically unique—military, political, social andfinancial structures of Mamluk society.

With these sharply focused studies of Mamlukarchitecture and culture, Nasser Rabbat gives newdefinition to our understanding of a lost world. Bothholistically and in case studies, Rabbat demonstrateshow history is inscribed into and reflected by a cul-ture’s artefacts. This is a groundbreaking work in thestudy of architecture and social history in theMiddle East and beyond.

Nasser Rabbat is the Aga Khan professor of Islamic archi-tecture at MIT and director of the Aga Khan Program forIslamic Architecture.

Keith KyleForeword by Roger Lewis

“. . . a superb account . . . that rare thing: a com-pelling read that will also serve to define the contextfor all future scholarship on the subject.”

—The Economist

On 26 July 1956, the British Empire received a blowfrom which it could never recover, when PresidentGamal Abdul Nasser nationalized the Suez CanalCompany, one of the gems of Britain’s imperial port-folio. Britain, France, and Israel subsequentlycolluded in attacking Egypt, ostensibly—in the caseof Britain and France—to protect the Suez Canal butin reality in an attempt to depose Nasser. The USopposition to this scheme forced an ignominiouswithdrawal, leaving Nasser triumphant and markinga decisive end to Britain’s imperial era.

In this, the seminal work on the Suez Crisis,Keith Kyle draws on a wealth of documentary evi-dence to tell this fascinating political, military, anddiplomatic story. Including new introductory material,this revised edition of a classic work will beessential reading for anyone interested in the historyof the twentieth century and the end of empire.

Keith Kyle worked as a journalist, broadcaster, author, andscholar throughout the world over the course of his longcareer. He remained actively involved in internationalhistory and politics until his death in 2007.

Red WineAmina ZaydanA Modern Arabic NovelTranslated by Sally Gomaa

Winner of the Naguib Mahfouz Medalfor Literature

“Amina Zaydan is a robust, mature writer with ahighly developed narrative technique.”

—Al-Ahram Weekly

Suzy Galal, born in the Egyptian city of Suez duringthe War of Attrition in the late 1960s, is a woman ofinner conflicts, at once a fighter and a lover, whotraverses the boundaries of ethnicity and religion.Her whole life is intricately tied to the wars andpolitical events taking place in Egypt. But as shegrapples with where to begin her story of personaland national crises, questions of narration arise:which metaphor best serves the layers of meaningshe wants to communicate, and whose voice istelling the story anyway?

Red Wine is both timely in its attention to theissues of state brutality, religious extremism, andgender, and timeless in the way it deals with thethemes of coming of age, guilt, and sadness.

Amina Zaydan, born in Suez in 1966, is known for herboldly feminist themes and her fearless scrutiny of gendernorms. Red Wine was awarded the 2007 Naguib MahfouzMedal for Literature.Sally Gomaa teaches contemporary global literature andwriting at Salve Regina University.

The Literary Life of CairoOne Hundred Years in the Heart of the City

Edited and introduced by Samia MehrezReadings from literary works that reconstruct acentury of Cairo’s changing social life

Unlike The Literary Atlas of Cairo, which focuseson the literary geopolitics of the cityscape, this com-panion volume immerses the reader in the complexnetwork of socioeconomic and cultural lives in thecity.

Daunting images of colonialschool experiences and startling contrasts of postcolo-nial educational realities are revealed, while Cairo’smoments of political participation and oppression areillustrated, as well as the space accorded to womenacross history and class.

Together, The Literary Atlas of Cairo and TheLiterary Life of Cairo produce a literary geography ofCairo that goes beyond the representation of spacein literature to reconstruct the complex network ofhuman relationships in that space.

Egypt in the Era of Hosni Mubarak, 1981–2010Galal AminTranslated by David Wilmsen

A new, provocative book from the author of Whatever Happened to the Egyptians?

Galal Amin once again turns his attention to theshaping of Egyptian society and the Egyptian state inthe half-century and more that has elapsed since theNasserite revolution, this time focusing on the era ofPresident Mubarak.

He looks at corruption, poverty, the plight of themiddle class, and of course, the economy, anddirects his penetrating gaze toward the Mubarakregime’s uneasy relationship with the relatively freepress it has encouraged, the vexing issue of presi-dential succession, and Egypt’s relations with theArab world and the United States. Addressing suchthemes from the perspective of an active participantin Egyptian intellectual life throughout the era, GalalAmin portrays the Mubarak regime’s stance in thedomestic and international arenas as very much aproduct of history, which, while not exonerating theregime, certainly helps to explain it.

Galal Amin is professor of economics at the AmericanUniversity in Cairo. He is the author of WhateverHappened to the Egyptians? (AUC Press, 2000),Whatever Else Happened to the Egyptians? (AUC Press,2004), and The Illusion of Progress in the Arab World(AUC Press, 2006). David Wilmsen is associate professor of Arabic at theAmerican University of Beirut.

Understanding CairoThe Logic of a City Out of Control

David SimsTrying to make sense of the urban giantthat is Cairo

This book moves beyond superficial generalizationsabout Cairo as a chaotic metropolis in the develop-ing world into an analysis of the ways the city’seighteen million inhabitants have, in the face of alargely neglectful government, built and shapedtheir own city. Using a wealth of recent studies onGreater Cairo and a deep reading of informal urbanprocesses, the city and its recent history areportrayed and mapped: the huge, spontaneousneighborhoods; housing; traffic and transport; citygovernment; and its people and their enterprises.

The book argues that understanding a city suchas Cairo is not a daunting task as long as pre-con-ceived notions are discarded and care is taken toapprehend available information and to assessit with a critical eye. In the case of Cairo, thisapproach leads to a conclusion that the citycan be considered a kind of success story,in spite of everything.

David Sims is an American economist and urban plannerwho has led a number of studies about Cairo’s urbandevelopment and housing.

Islamic Law and Civil CodeThe Law of Property in Egypt

Richard A. DebsForewords by Frank E. Vogel and Ridwan Al Sayyid

A detailed look at the meeting of Sharia andwestern legal elements in modern Egypt

Richard A. Debs follows the modern developmentof law in Egypt, a predominantly Islamic society inwhich the west has defined the terms of progress inthe modern era. Debs focuses specifically on Egyptand its modern legal institutions, which draw uponsociety’s own vigorous legal traditions as it forms itsmodern law. Yet Debs also touches on issues thatare common to all such societies that have adopted,either by choice or by necessity, western legalsystems.

Egypt’s unique synthesis of western and traditionalelements is the outcome of an effort to respond tonational goals and requirements. Egypt’s traditionallaw is the Sharia, the fundamental law of all Islamicsocieties, and through his analysis of Egypt’s law ofproperty, the author shows how Islamic jurisprudencecan be sophisticated, coherent, rational, and effective,developed over centuries to serve the needs ofsocieties that have flourished under the rule of law.

The Modern Neighbors of Tutankhamun History, Life, and Work in the Villages of the Theban West Bank

Kees van der SpekA historical–anthropological study of the people who lived in the antiquities precinct of Luxor’sWest Bank

Until their recent demolition, the colorful mud-brickhamlets of al-Qurna village, situated among theNoble Tombs of the Theban Necropolis on the LuxorWest Bank, were home to a vibrant community.

Inhabiting a place of intensive Egyptologicalresearch for over two centuries, it was inevitablethat Qurnawis should become part of the history ofEgyptology and the development of archaeologicalpractice in the Theban Necropolis. But they havemostly been regarded as laborors for the excavationteams or dealers in the illicit antiquities trade. Themodern people inhabiting the ancient burialgrounds have themselves rarely been considered.

By demonstrating the multiplicity of economicactivities that are carried out in al-Qurna, this studycounters the villagers’ stereotypical representation astomb robbers, and restores an understanding of whothey are as people living their lives in the shadow ofvalued cultural heritage.

Kees van der Spek is an independent scholar who livesand works in Canberra, Australia.

Poisoned Legacy The Fall of the Nineteenth Egyptian Dynasty

Aidan DodsonThe first book to examine the turbulent periodfrom the death of Rameses II to the accessionof Rameses III

After the death of Rameses II, the NineteenthDynasty soon fell into decline and familial conflict,culminating in a final civil war that ended with theaccession of a new dynasty. Sethy I and Rameses II’spromotion of a concept of a wider ‘royal family’may have sown the seeds for the conflicts amongtheir descendants.

Aidan Dodson explores the mysteries of the ori-gins of the usurper-king Amenmeses and the careerof the ‘king-maker’ of the period, the chancellorBay. Having helped to install at least one pharaohon the throne, Bay’s life was ended by his abruptexecution, ordered by the woman with whom hehad shared the regency of Egypt for the young anddisabled King Siptah. Finally, the author considershow that woman—Tawosret—became the last truefemale pharaoh, and how she finally lost her throneto the founder of the Twentieth Dynasty, Sethnakhte.

Babylon of Egypt The Archaeology of Old Cairo and theOrigins of the CityARCE Conservation Series 4

Peter SheehanAn archaeological investigation into the ancient nucleus of medieval and modern Cairo

This book presents a history of Old Cairo based onnew archaeological evidence gathered between2000 and 2006 during a major project to lower thegroundwater level affecting the churches and monu-ments of the area of Cairo known by the Romans asBabylon. Examination of the material and structuralremains revealed a sequence of continuous occupa-tion extending from the sixth century BC to the pres-ent day. These include the massive stone walls of thecanal linking the Nile to the Red Sea, and the harborconstructed by Trajan at its entrance around AD 110.

The emperor Diocletian built the fortress ofBabylon around the harbor and the canal in AD 300,and much new information has come to light con-cerning the construction and internal layout of thefortress, which continues to enclose and define theenclave of Old Cairo. Important evidence for the earlymedieval transformation of the area into the nucleusof the Arab city of al-Fustat and its later medievaldevelopment is also presented.

Peter Sheehan directed the Old Cairo ArchaeologicalMonitoring Project from 2000 to 2006 and has publisheda number of articles on the archaeology of the area. He iscurrently historic buildings manager for the Abu DhabiAuthority for Culture and Heritage.

Who Were the Pharaohs? A Guide to Their Names, Reigns,and Dynasties

Stephen QuirkeA unique look at the names and identitiesof the monarchs of ancient Egypt

In ancient Egypt, a name did more than expressone’s identity; it incorporated it, forming a profoundelement of it. Names of kings were especiallyimportant as the king of Egypt acted as the earthlycounterpart to the sun-god. At his accession to thethrone, a pharaoh would take five names to distin-guish him from ordinary human beings, the firstbeing his birth name and the remaining four com-posed specially for the coronation.

Covering 3,000 years of history from the dawn ofEgyptian writing to the use of royal names under theRoman emperors in Egypt, Who Were the Pharaohs?first gives an in-depth but accessible history ofancient Egyptian royalty and society, then providesan extensive list of royal names, with the principalcartouches for all the major kings of ancient Egyptas well as some lesser-known but equally intriguingpharaohs, and details the key events and characteris-tics of each reign.

Stephen Quirke is curator of the Petrie Museum ofEgyptian Archaeology in the Institute of Archaeology atUniversity College London.
