Great royal wife. God’s wife. Daughter of God. The ancient Egyptian language had no specific and separate word for ‘queen’

as we know it, yet for three thousand years, queens had occasion to share responsibility with Egypt’s pharaohs for ruling one of the most powerful countries of the ancient world.

But were Egyptian queens ever the equal of their male counterparts? Could the authority of a woman measure up to the power of a male ruler in pharaonic times? Drawing upon written sources and the latest archaeological research, as well as myths, artwork, and religious texts, The Queens of Ancient Egypt attempts to answer these questions and more by examining the variety of roles of an Egyptian queen through time: queen consort, mother of kings, priestess, co-ruler with a pharaoh, or even sovereign in her own right.

From Hatshepsut to Cleopatra, via Nefertiti and Nefertari, all the best known and lesser known queens of ancient Egypt are here. Over 250 color photographs of statues, paintings, and reliefs sup-plement the text.

ROSANNA PIRELLI is a professor of Egyptology at the University of Naples L’Orientale. She has taken part in the excavation and study of numerous sites of Egyptian antiquity, including the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir al-Bahari and the pharaonic port of Wadi Gawasis. She has published exten-sively on topics ranging from archaic statuary, royal iconography, and New Kingdom anthropology to Egyptian cults outside of Egypt.

The eleven sections of wall-paint-ing from Nebamun’s lost tomb-chapel from c. 1350 BC are

among the greatest and most famous of the British Museum’s treasures.

The paintings decorated the walls of an Egyptian official’s tomb-chapel, dis-playing his status and activities in this life and the next. The accountant Nebamun, eternally youthful and vigor-ous, is shown hunting in the marshes and overseeing his servants and animals on the estate he managed. The paint-ings offer us fascinating glimpses of the

world of ancient Egypt as the governing class wished it to be seen. Ancient visitors would bring offerings and prayers to Nebamun in this colorful chapel, and the paintings were intended to be seen and appreciated by visitors. Although they were painted in a cemetery, they were created for esthetic reasons and were intended to captivate their viewers. Their beauty and vitality is admira-bly captured in the new detailed photography which has been taken especially for this book.

Richard Parkinson discusses the history of the paintings from ancient to modern times, and describes each painting fully, with translations of the hieroglyphic texts. Every fragment is fully illustrated in color with numerous details, doing full justice to these artists who have been described as “antiquity’s equivalent of Michelangelo.”

Egypt’s ancient sites between the Nile Valley and the Red Sea

The Red LandThe Illustrated Archaeology of Egypt’s Eastern DesertSteven E. Sidebotham, Martin Hense, and Hendrikje M. Nouwens

For thousands of years Egypt has crowded the Nile Valley and Delta. The Eastern Desert, however, has also played a cru-

cial—though until now little understood—role in Egyptian history. Ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley feared the desert, which they referred to as the Red Land, and were reluctant to venture there, yet they exploited the extensive mineral wealth of this region. They also profited from the valuable wares conveyed across the desert between the Nile and the Red Sea ports, which originated from Arabia, Africa, India, and elsewhere in the east.

Based on twenty years of archaeological field-work conducted in the Eastern Desert, The Red Land reveals the cultural and historical richness of this little known and seldom visited area of Egypt. A range of important archaeological sites dating from Prehistoric to Byzantine times is explored here in text and illustrations. Among these ancient treasures are petroglyphs, cemeteries, fortified wells, gold and emerald mines, hard stone quarries, roads, forts, ports, and temples. With 250 photo-graphs and fascinating artistic reconstructions based on the evidence on the ground, along with the latest research and accounts from ancient sources and modern travelers, the authors lead the reader into the remotest corners of the hauntingly beautiful Eastern Desert to discover the full story of the area’s human history.

STEVEN E. SIDEBOTHAM is professor of classical archaeology and ancient history at the University of Delaware. MARTIN HENSE has been a freelance art-ist and archaeologist specializing in ancient metal-work on excavations in Syria and Egypt since 1994. HENDRIKJE M. NOUWENS is an independent Egyp-tologist and archaeologist based in the Netherlands.

Pharaonic Civilization sheds light on the prin-cipal events, cultural and social processes, and religious beliefs that influenced and

shaped the development and flowering of a civili-zation on the Nile that lasted for thousands of years.

Almost from the time the Egyptian state came into being with the unification of the ‘Two King-doms,’ the pharaohs immortalized their lives and achievements with the construction of stone mon-uments. This book looks at these wonders, includ-ing the pyramid tombs of the Old Kingdom, whose architectural evolution can be followed from the first step pyramid of Djoser to the magnificent pyramids of Giza, and on to the necropolises of Abusir and Saqqara.

Monumental sculpture and private burial are also examined here, two areas that found new expres-sive forms during the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom. And ample space is reserved for the pharaohs of the New Kingdom, who with their military campaigns made Egypt one of the most powerful empires of the Near East. Thanks to superb color photographs, the reader is able to admire the prodigious output of Egyptian art in all its splendor.

The book also examines the last centuries of the age of the pharaohs, up to the period of Greek and then Roman control of Egypt, an era when Egyp-tian culture came into contact and in some cases fused with the Hellenistic and Roman cultures of the time.

From the pyramids along the Nile and the royal burial ground in the Valley of the Kings to the tombs of queens such as

Ramesses II’s consort Nefertari and the large num-ber of private tombs of nobles like Rekhmire and Ramose, The Tomb in Ancient Egypt is an unparal-leled guide to ancient Egyptian burial sites and practices.

Besides the paintings, reliefs, and statues adorn-ing their walls, many tombs show the breathtaking skill of ancient architects, and autobiographical texts found within give rare insights into Egyptian life. We read of Harkhuf ’s African explorations, returning with the gift of a dancing dwarf to his boy-king, Pepy II, and we learn how General Amenemheb saved his king’s life when charged by an enraged elephant.

Written by two experts in the field, this new book traces burial practices in Egypt over three millennia, from the dawn of Egyptian history to the Roman domination. It also illuminates the work of key scholars who excavated and catalogued their finds for posterity, and it includes a compre-hensive list of the principal cemeteries, with glos-sary and maps for ease of reference. Richly illus-trated with photographs of the monuments and their art, plus numerous diagrams and reconstruc-tion drawings, this is an essential and authoritative resource for all those passionate about ancient Egypt.

The art of ancient Egypt has never lost its power to inspire fascination and awe. Over some

three thousand years the great civiliza-tion of the Nile Valley produced some of the finest works of art the world has ever known, whether exquisitely painted on tomb walls, carved in stone or wood, or cast in metal. Illustrated with over 250 remarkable objects from collections in Europe, the United States, and Egypt, this book traces the course of Egyptian art from its sudden initial flowering to its final resurgence during the rule of the Ptolemies.

Gay Robins, who brings to the subject many fresh insights based on firsthand study in Egypt, explains how the ancient artists developed an artis-tic system that was perfectly adapted to expressing the Egyptians’ world view, encapsulated in their religious and funerary beliefs. She explores the dif-ferent functions of artistic products in temples, tombs, and everyday life, and stresses the impor-tance of understanding them within the context for which they were originally designed. Finally, she demonstrates that, contrary to popular opin-ion, Egyptian art was not unvarying down the ages but was adapted, through changes in proportion, composition, style, and subject matter, to meet the needs of different periods.

GAY ROBINS is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Profes-sor of art history in the art history department at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. She is a former Lady Wallis Budge Research Fellow in Egyptology at Christ’s College, Cambridge, and her numerous publications include Women in Ancient Egypt.

The definitive study of pharaonic art

7

For centuries visitors have been awed by ancient Egypt’s monuments, seeing in them testimony to a mysterious past and the

remembrance of forces greater and more subtle than the corporeal world they inhabit. With stun-ning photography complemented by quotations from a range of textual sources, The Eternal Light of Egypt speaks to that testimony with a fresh, explor-atory voice. A brooding face carved in stone, mon-uments of unsparing majesty, clouds spread out against an immutable sky, delicate patterns of palm fronds caught in a shimmering half-light. Like the figurative language of dreams, Sarite Sanders’s haunting black-and-white photographs bring the enigmatic narrative of Egypt’s ancient monuments into sharp relief, forcing us to see pyramids, stat-ues, or the breathtaking architectural sweep of temples once again for the first time, in an austere and unscripted visual poetry. Photographed using infra-red film, the images are often dark and edgy, hinting at an underlying restlessness and the tran-sience of all those who stand in the monuments’ shadow. With over 100 black-and-white photo-graphs, The Eternal Light of Egypt is both a medita-tion and a rare, lyrical work, inviting the observer to revisit and engage with Egypt’s most enduring legacy to the imagination.

SARITE SANDERS, formerly a professional dancer on the faculty of the Extreme Ballet Program at Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli, New York, is a photographer who has traveled to Egypt over three decades in the company of writers, scholars, artists, and Egyptologists. Her photographs are held in the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art in New Paltz, New York.

After its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, Egypt was ruled for the next 300 years by the Ptolemaic dynasty founded by

Ptolemy I, one of Alexander’s generals. With the defeat of Cleopatra VII in 30 BC, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, and later of the Byzantine Empire. For a millennium it was one of the wealthiest, most populous and important lands of the multicultural Mediterranean civilization under Greek and Roman rule.

The thousand years from Alexander to the Arab conquest in AD 641 are rich in archaeological inter-est and well documented by 50,000 papyri in Greek, Egyptian, Latin, and other languages. But travelers and others interested in the remains of this period are ill-served by most guides to Egypt, which concentrate on the pharaonic buildings. This book redresses the balance, with clear and concise descriptions related to documents and his-torical background that enable us to appreciate the fascinating cities, temples, tombs, villages, churches, and monasteries of the Hellenistic, Roman, and Late Antique periods. Written by a dozen leading specialists and reflecting the latest discoveries and research, it provides an expert visi-tor’s guide to the principal cities, many off the well-worn tourist paths. It also offers a vivid pic-ture of Egyptian society at differing economic and social levels.

A History of EgyptFrom Earliest Times to the PresentJason Thompson


A concise narrative of Egypt’s long and colorful history

No country’s past can match Egypt’s in antiquity, richness, and variety. Rarely, however, is this nation’s history presented

as a comprehensive panorama, since scholars tend to divide it into distinct eras—pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, medieval Islamic, Ottoman, and modern—that are rarely studied in connection to each other, despite the strong elements of continu-ity running through all of these periods. But here, historian Jason Thompson has written a cohesive account of Egypt’s millennia-long past.

In A History of Egypt, readers are offered a sure guide through the sometimes labyrinthine corri-dors of Egypt’s past, from the mysterious predy-nastic kingdoms to the post-modern nation-state of the twenty-first century. The author addresses central scholarly issues such as how Egyptian his-tory can be treated as a whole and how the west has shaped prevailing images of it, both through direct contact and through the lens of western scholarship. Drawing on current historical scholar-ship as well his own research, Jason Thompson has written a remarkable work of synthesis and conci-sion, offering students, travelers, and general read-ers alike an engaging one-volume narrative of the extraordinarily long course of human history by the Nile.

JASON THOMPSON is the author of Sir Gardiner Wilkinson and His Circle and the editor of Edward William Lane’s Description of Egypt (AUC Press, 2000) and An Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians (AUC Press, 2003).

The life and legacy of the physician of medieval Muslim Spain

The Sage of SevilleIbn Zuhr, His Time, and His Medical LegacyHenry Azar

Ibn Zuhr (or Avenzoar) of twelfth-century Seville was the most important physician of Muslim Spain. His family boasted six genera-

tions of physicians, and also included midwives, jurists, poets, and viziers. His Kitab al-taysir, a com-pendium of therapeutics, was translated into Latin and Hebrew; its Latin version, Liber Teisir, served as a companion book to the Colliget, the Latin translation of Kitab al-kulliyat, a largely theoretical book of the philosopher–physician Ibn Rushd (Averroes). The rabbi–physician Maimonides quoted extensively from Ibn Zuhr and considered him “unique in his age and one of the great sages.”

But Ibn Zuhr was not just a keen observer of patients and a dispenser of remedies: buried within his generally dry narrative are candid recollections and views on a variety of subjects and of his society. And his medical recipes could be compared to cur-rents forms of alternative medicine. Together, his holistic approach to medicine and his spontaneous vignettes make him one of the most refreshing physicians of any age.

This account of the life and legacy of Ibn Zuhr, the first of its kind, reveals the man and his world, his importance in his own times, and his relevance to our world today. Against a modern culture of often impersonal, bureaucratized, and costly health care, Ibn Zuhr’s embodiment of the wisdom of the ages and his role as healer–priest can be an inspiration.

HENRY AZAR graduated in medicine from the American University of Beirut, earned a doctorate in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and is emeritus professor of pathology at the University of South Florida in Tampa.

A window onto the social history of Cairo in the eighteenth century

An Armenian Artist in Ottoman EgyptYuhanna al-Armani and His Coptic IconsMagdi Guirguis Introduction by Nelly Hanna

Yuhanna al-Armani has long been known by historians of Coptic art as an eighteenth-century Armenian icon painter who lived

and worked in Ottoman Cairo. Here for the first time is an account of his life that looks beyond his artistic production to place him firmly in the social, political, and economic milieu in which he moved and the confluence of interests that allowed him to flourish as a painter.

Who was Yuhanna al-Armani? What was his net-work of relationships? How does this shed light on the contacts between Cairo’s Coptic and Armenian communities in the eighteenth century? Why was there so much demand for his work at that particu-lar time? And how did a member of Cairo’s then relatively modest Armenian community reach such heights of artistic and creative endeavor? Drawing on eighteenth-century deeds relating to al-Armani and other members of his social network recorded in the registers of the Ottoman courts, Magdi Guirguis offers a fascinating glimpse into the ways of life of urban dwellers in eighteenth-century Cairo, at a time when a civilian elite had reached a high level of prominence and wealth. Illustrated with 28 full-color reproductions of al-Armani’s icons, An Armenian Artist in Ottoman Egypt is a rich and compelling window on Cairene social history that will interest students and scholars of art his-tory, Coptic studies, or Ottoman history.

MAGDI GUIRGUIS is an independent researcher with a Ph.D. from Cairo University.

In 1798, for the first time since the Crusades, western armies landed in the Middle East, ini-tiating a confrontation with far-reaching

implications. The French, infused with the fire of revolution and republicanism, and imbued with the idealism of the Enlightenment, set out for glory and riches. Their invasion of Egypt, a rebel-lious province of the sprawling Ottoman Empire, also aimed to weaken British communications with India. They were led by an ambitious and charis-matic young general, Napoleon Bonaparte.

Shedding new light on the ensuing events, acclaimed historian Juan Cole tells this stirring story through the experiences of soldiers and observers on both sides of the conflict—giving full voice to Muslim points of view. He highlights the mutual incomprehension and the attempts to understand the opportunities and limits of exchange between the two branches of Mediterra-nean civilization. Beyond detailing the machina-tions of the French high command, Cole paints a vivid tableau of personal encounters—French sci-entists seeking to increase their knowledge in a new landscape, French soldiers pursuing romantic dalliances across cultures, and peasants and tribes-men launching determined insurrections.

From the unprecedented intellectual challenge for Muslim religious figures to the new public roles adopted by Egyptian women, Napoleon’s impact went beyond the battlefield and still resonates in modern relations between the west and the Middle East.

JUAN COLE is professor of Middle Eastern and South Asian history at the University of Michigan, and is the author of Colonialism and Revolution in the Middle East (AUC Press, 1999).

By combining extracts from their most famous works with Rees’s insightful essays, Women on the Nile illuminates the life and

writings of three remarkable women and captures something of the romance of 19th century travel to the East.

Harriet Martineau was a doughty and influential campaigner for multiple social causes; Florence Nightingale became a universally acclaimed reformer of nursing and hospital practices; Amelia Edwards, formerly a novelist and prolific profes-sional writer, returned from Egypt to found the Egypt Exploration Society and endow the first Chair of Egyptology at a British university.

All three were independent minded women of strong character and exceptional gifts. They were accomplished writers each with a distinctive style, and their accounts of their Nile journeys are richly individual and full of life, thought and observation.

JOAN REES is emeritus professor of English litera-ture at the University of Birmingham. She is the author of several books on women travelers, including a biography of Amelia Edwards.

Arts of the City Victorious is the first book-length study of the art and architecture of the Fatimids, the Shi‘ite dynasty that ruled

in North Africa and Egypt from 909 to 1171. The Fatimids are most famous for founding the walled city of Cairo in 969, and their art—particularly textiles and luster ceramics, but also metalwork and carved rock-crystal, ivory, and woodwork—has been admired for nearly a millennium. Fatimid art is known for its strongly figural imagery, and its elegant and inventive use of Arabic calligraphy, particularly the angular Kufic script. Highlighting surviving examples of Fatimid art and architecture, this volume also draws on an unusual wealth of medieval sources that provide written evidence for the rich visual culture shared among the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish inhabitants of the Fatimid realm. Whereas earlier studies treated the two and a half centuries of Fatimid art and architecture as a single category, this book is the first to show how they grew and evolved over time.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book focuses on key works of art, copiously illus-trated with photographs, many in color. With this volume, art historian Jonathan Bloom synthesizes the findings of many scholars in many languages, to offer a rich portrait of a vibrant artistic period in Islamic civilization.

JONATHAN M. BLOOM teaches Islamic art history at Boston College and Virginia Commonwealth University. He is the author of Paper Before Print: The History and Impact of Paper in the Islamic Worldand co-author of Islam: A Thousand Years of Faith and Power and The Art and Architecture of Islam: 1250–1800.

Between the 1930s and the 1960s, the Egyptian cinema industry was at its height, producing hundreds of black-and-white

comedies, dramas, and romances, many of which became enduring classics, much loved and watched over and over throughout the Arab world in cine-mas and on television. Whatever the genre, love was always a central theme—ideal love, impossible love, love won, love lost.

Here in this sumptuous, large-format treatment, film fan Sherif Boraie has gathered over a hundred promotional stills from more than eighty great Egyptian movies. In glorious black-and-white, stars who are household names from Casablanca to Baghdad pucker or pout, cower or scowl, clinch or croon, scheme or triumph. There are the divas and the crooners: Umm Kulthum, Laila Murad, Abdal-Halim Hafez, Farid al-Atrash; the leading ladies: Faten Hamama, Suad Husni; the leading men: Omar Sharif, Rushdi Abaza; the dancers: Naima Akif, Tahiya Carioca; the villains: Tawfiq al-Diqn, Mahmoud al-Meligui; and the comics: Mary Munib, Isma‘il Yasin. Not to mention the child star Fayruz, the people’s hero Farid Shawqi, and the magnificent Hind Rustum.

Introduced and captioned in English and Arabic, this book of the greatest and the best of Egyptian cinema will appeal to classic film lovers everywhere.

The Egyptian art world is the oldest and largest in the Arab Middle East. Its artists must reckon with the histories of ancient

Egypt, European modernism, anti-colonial nation-alism, and state socialism—all in the context of a growing neoliberal economy marked by American global dominance. At this crucial intersection of culture, politics, and economy, Egypt’s art and art-ists provide unique insight into current struggles for cultural identity and sovereignty in the Middle East.

This book examines the heated cultural politics in today’s Arab world, and tells how art-making has become an unexpectedly central part of that. It offers a lively analysis of the battles between art-ists, curators, and audiences over cultural authen-ticity, cultural policy, public art in a changing urban Egypt, and the new global marketing of Egyptian art. The art world it shows powerfully exemplifies how people in the Middle East reckon with global transformations that are changing how culture is made in societies with colonial and socialist pasts.

“Through the perspective of the social institutions where art is produced and discussed, sold and col-lected, this book presents an exciting and smart account of modern Egyptian culture. It will imme-diately become the most important work on the subject.”

Crossing Borders,Shifting BoundariesPalestinian DilemmasEdited by Sari Hanafi

This monograph centers on the effort to understand the issue of return migration to Palestine from a sociological point of

view. Six papers examine various human situa-tions among Palestinians, ranging from villages that have been divided by borders such as the Green Line to populations of Palestinian origin that have been cut off from their roots in Pales-tine and are now seeking to establish their lives elsewhere. The common theme is the role of borders and boundaries.

Growth and fiscal sustainability in Egypt’s economic sector

The Egyptian EconomyCurrent Challenges and Future ProspectsEdited by Hanaa Kheir-El-Din

The Egyptian economy has undergone sev-eral reforms since the early 1990s. How-ever, it was not until recently that the

reform process picked up speed and intensity. Key initiatives included shifting to a flexible exchange rate regime, liberalizing trade, revising and reduc-ing the tariff structure, and improving the income tax system. Plans are underway to restructure the financial sector and privatize most state-owned enterprises.

This volume aims to evaluate the impact of recent reform policies and highlight priority areas for further reform at the macroeconomic and institutional levels. Topics addressed include growth, distribution, and poverty reduction; mon-etary policy and the impact of exchange rate liber-alization; unemployment and job creation; and the new pension system. The volume focuses on the health and energy sectors in Egypt, with the aim of assessing each sector in three areas: financing, organization, and policy management, in order to suggest ideas for reform in light of international experience.

The Demographic Revolution in Modern Egyptdescribes the dramatic transition of Egypt’s fertility and mortality rates over

the last two decades, from staggeringly high to sur-prisingly low. Warren C. Robinson and Fatma H. El-Zanaty delve into the reasons for the decline in fertility, including the relative success of Egypt’s recent public initiatives in family planning. The authors compellingly show the importance of Egypt’s continued demographic stability for Egypt, the Middle East, and indeed the world. They also point to Egypt’s optimistic progress as a model for other countries where out-of-control birthrates are wreaking havoc with economic and social development.

WARREN C. ROBINSON is professor emeritus of economics and former director of the Population Issues Research Center, Pennsylvania State Univer-sity. He is also former senior advisor on population to the US Mission to Egypt. FATMA H. EL-ZANATY

is professor of statistics, University of Cairo, and former director of the Macro International (Demographic Health Surveys) Egyptian Office. She is also currently Director of Zanaty Associates, Cairo.

Living in Egypt at the turn of the millen-nium, cultural anthropologist L. L. Wynn was struck by the juxtapositions of west-

ern, Gulf Arab, and Egyptian viewpoints she encountered. For some, Egypt is the land of mum-mies and pharaohs. For others, it is a vortex of decadence, where nightlife promises a chance to salivate over belly dancers and maybe even glimpse a movie star. Offering a new approach to ethnography, Pyramids and Nightclubs examines cross-cultural encounters to bring to light the counterintuitive ways in which Egypt is defined.

Guiding readers on an armchair journey that introduces us to Russian and Australian belly dancers on Nile cruise ships, Egyptian rumors about an Arab prince and his royal entourage, Saudi girls looking for a less restrictive dating scene, and other visitors to this “antique” land, Wynn uses the lens of travel and tourism to depict a fascinating and often surprising version of Egypt, while exploring the concept of stereotype itself. Tracing the history of Western and Arab fas-cination with Egypt through spurious hunts for lost civilizations and the new economic disparities brought about by the oil industry, Pyramids and Nightclubs ultimately describes the ways in which moments of cultural contact, driven by tourism and labor migration, become eye-opening oppor-tunities for defining self and other.

L. L. WYNN received her Ph.D. from Princeton University and is associate lecturer in the anthro-pology department of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. She has taught in a Saudi girls’ school and spent three and a half years in Cairo, Egypt, where she undertook the research for this book.

Women in IraqThe Gender Impact of InternationalSanctionsYasmin Husein al-Jawaheri

Interviewing women of all different ages and backgrounds, the author examines the impact of the UN economic sanctions on family rela-

tions, gender violence, domestic responsibilities, and employment practices. She shows that by restricting women’s ability to participate in educa-tion and in the labor force, sanctions reinforced conservative gender roles. She also shows how the 2003 war and upsurge in sectarianism intensified this problem, and assesses the future prospects for womens’ rights in Iraq.

Women in Islam andthe Middle EastA ReaderEdited by Ruth Roded

Much of the lively and often heated debate on the role of women in Islam and Mid-dle Eastern society is grounded in differ-

ent readings of the primary Arabic, Persian, Turk-ish and other sources and historical precedents. Yet these key texts remain inaccessible to English-speaking readers. Women in Islam and the Middle East fills this gap by gathering material from a wide range of sources, from the early Islamic period to today. The readings cover various aspects of wom-en’s experience: legal, domestic, political, religious, and cultural.

RUTH RODED is senior lecturer in the history of Islam and the Middle East at the Institute of Afri-can and Asian Studies, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Gendering the Middle EastEmerging PerspectivesEdited by Deniz Kandiyoti

Contributors from the fields of history, anthropology, political sociology, interna-tional relations, and literary criticism illus-

trate how a focus on gender may modify our disci-plinary perspectives, our understanding of the region and of feminist praxis within it. Their explorations, ranging from political discourse in Iran and inheritance strategies in Palestine to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, women’s writing in Egypt, and methodological dilemmas in fieldwork, demonstrate how a focus on gender may act as a powerful tool of social criticism.

DENIZ KANDIYOTI is a professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.


Arab Television TodayNaomi Sakr

There is a great deal at stake for everyone in the future of Arab television. Political and social upheavals in this central but unset-

tled region are increasingly played out on televi-sion screens and in the tussles over programming that take place behind them. This book makes sense of the industry in a very readable and author-itative way, through exploring and explaining the evolving structures and content choices in both entertainment and news of contemporary Arab television. It shows how owners, investors, journal-ists, and others influence one another in a geolin-guistic marketplace that encompasses the Arab region itself and communities abroad.

NAOMI SAKR is a reader in communication in the School of Media, Arts and Design at the University of Westminster.

In Volume 1 of this series, Stephen Davis con-tended that the themes of “apostolicity, mar-tyrdom, monastic patronage, and theological

resistance” were determinative for the cultural construction of Egyptian church leadership in late antiquity. Volume 2, The Coptic Papacy in Islamic Egypt, shows that the medieval Coptic popes (641–1517 CE) were regularly portrayed as standing in continuity with their saintly predecessors; how-ever, at the same time they were active in creating something new, the Coptic Orthodox Church, a community that struggled to preserve a distinctive life and witness within the new Islamic world order. The medieval popes are depicted as ‘living martyrs’ in the Church of the Martyrs, as conduc-tors of an orchestra of holiness, as community rep-resentatives hard-pressed by financial obligations and engaged in complex relationships with both Muslim officials and Coptic lay notables, as patrons of a resilient sacred geography that rooted Coptic culture in a network of holy places, and as leaders in both acculturation and resistance to a largely Islamic society. Building on recent advances in the study of sources for Coptic church history, the present volume aims to show how portrayals of the medieval popes provide a window into the reli-gious and social life of their community.

The Popes of Egypt: A History of the Coptic Church and ItsPatriarchs Volume 3, edited by Stephen J. Davis and Gawdat Gabra

This third and final volume of The Popes of Egypt spans the five centuries from the arrival of the Ottomans in 1517 to the pres-

ent era. Hardly any scholarly work has been writ-ten about the Copts during the Ottoman Period. Using court, financial, and building records, as well as archives from the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate and monasteries, Magdi Guirguis has reconstructed the authority of the popes and the organization of the Coptic community during this time. He reveals that the popes held complete authority over their flock at the beginning of Ottoman rule, deciding over questions ranging from marriage and concu-bines to civil disputes. As the fortunes of Coptic notables rose, they gradually took over the pope’s role and it was not until the time of Muhammad Ali that the popes regained their former authority.

With the dawning of the modern era in the nine-teenth century, the leadership style of the Coptic popes necessarily changed drastically. As Egypt’s social, political, and religious landscape underwent dramatic changes, the Coptic Church experienced a virtual renaissance, and expanded from a local to a global institution. In the second part of the book, Nelly van Doorn-Harder addresses the polit-ical, religious, and cultural issues faced by the patriarchs that led the Coptic community into the twenty-first century.

MAGDI GUIRGUIS is an independent researcher with a Ph.D. from Cairo University, and a specialist in Egyptian documentary sources from theOttoman period. NELLY VAN DOORN-HARDER

holds the Patheja Chair in World Religions atValparaiso University, specializing in contemporary Coptic and Islamic studies.

The Sublime TreasuresAnswers to Sufi QuestionsImam Haddad

This volume contains Imam Haddad’s answers to letters he received posing ques-tions on easily confusing and subtle Sufi

matters, presented in his inimitable style of suc-cinct clarity. What makes this volume unique is that Sufi masters have always been most reluctant to discourse openly about Divine secrets, while the imam allowed himself more freedom in letters addressed to his scholarly disciples—extracts of which constitute this volume—than in books.

No other scholar of the same caliber has had a book answering questions on confusing Sufi mat-ters translated into English. It is sure to become a must for anyone interested in Islamic spirituality.

Mahgub Abd al-Da’im is a scamp who fan-cies himself a nihilist, a hedonist, an ego-tist, but his personal vulnerability is soon

revealed by a family crisis back home in al-Qanatir, a dusty, provincial town on the Nile. Mahgub has a hard time finding the correct setting on his ambi-tion gauge. His emotional life also fluctuates between the extremes of a street girl, who makes her living gathering cigarette butts, and his wealthy cousin Tahiya. Since he thinks that virtue is merely a social construct, how far will our would-be nihil-ist go in trying to fulfill his unbridled ambitions? What if he discovers that high society is more cor-rupt and cynical than he is?

Published in Arabic in the 1940s, this cautionary morality tale about self-defeating egoism and ill-digested foreign philosophies comes from the same period as one of the writer’s best known works, Midaq Alley. Both novels are comic and heart-felt indictments not so much of Egyptian society between the world wars as of human nature and our paltry attempts to establish just societies.

NAGUIB MAHFOUZ (1911–2006) was born in the crowded Cairo district of Gamaliya. He graduated in philosophy from King Fuad University in 1934, and went on to write nearly forty novel-length works, plus hundreds of short stories and numer-ous screenplays. He was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1988.

WILLIAM M. HUTCHINS is the principal translator of Naguib Mahfouz’s Cairo Trilogy, and has most recently translated Mohammed Khudayyir’s Basrayatha (AUC Press, 2007) and Fadhil al-Azzawi’s The Last of the Angels (AUC Press, 2007) and CellBlock Five (AUC Press, 2008).

From her cell in a women’s prison, Aziza decides to create a golden chariot to take her to heaven, where her wishes and

dreams can be fulfilled. As she muses on who to take with her, she tells the life stories of her fellow prisoners and decides in her heart which ones deserve a free ride to paradise. Aziza’s cruelly frank comments about her friends and their various crimes—including murder, theft, and drug-deal-ing—weave these tales together into a contempo-rary Arabian Nights. Salwa Bakr takes a wry and cynical look at how women from widely differing backgrounds, some innocent and some guilty, come together in a single prison ward.

Salwa Bakr’s writing depicts life at the grass-roots of Egypt’s culture, admiring its resilience in the face of poverty and inequality. With a strong mistrust of imported kitsch, western consumerism is contrasted with the indigenous culture. In TheGolden Chariot, Salwa Bakr opens a magical door, through which we are able to see the injustices of a society in transition. Beyond these stories of crime, we glimpse the yearning and longing for a better life, and the problems of not being able to realize these dreams by honest means.

SALWA BAKR was born in Cairo in 1949. She is the author of seven volumes of short stories (including The Wiles of Men, AUC Press, 1997), seven novels (including The Man from Bashmour, AUC Press, 2007), and a play. Her work has been translated into nine languages.

Arab women’s writing in the modern age began with ‘A’isha al-Taymuriya, Wardaal-Yaziji, Zaynab Fawwaz, and other nine-

teenth-century pioneers in Egypt and the Levant. This unique study—first published in Arabic in 2004—looks at the work of those pioneers and then traces the development of Arab women’s lit-erature through the end of the twentieth century, and also includes a meticulously researched, com-prehensive bibliography of writing by Arab women. In the first section, in nine essays that cover the Arab Middle East from Morocco to Iraq and Syria to Yemen, critics and writers from the Arab world examine the origin and evolution of women’s writing in each country in the region, addressing fiction, poetry, drama, and autobio-graphical writing.

The second part of the volume contains biblio-graphical entries for over 1,200 Arab women writ-ers from the last third of the nineteenth century through 1999. Each entry contains a short biogra-phy and a bibliography of each author’s published works. This section also includes Arab women’s writing in French and English, as well as a bibliog-raphy of works translated into English.

Final NightShort StoriesButhaina Al Nasiri Selected and translated by Denys Johnson-Davies

Love and death and the passage between entry into the world and exit from it are the focus of this collection of short stories.

Buthaina Al Nasiri is an Iraqi author who has lived in Cairo since 1979. Despite this physical and tem-poral distance from her homeland, much of her material derives from it and many of the stories in this collection reflect her deeply felt nostalgia for Iraq. In contrast to many contemporary female writers, she confesses to being less interested in the position of women in society than in that of people in general and the sufferings they experi-ence between birth and the end of life. None the less, some of her best stories depict the many-col-ored relationships that exist between the sexes.

Buthaina Al Nasiri’s work has been widely trans-lated into European languages, but this is the first volume of her stories to appear in English, for which renowned translator Denys Johnson-Davies has selected work from a career of short-story writing spanning some thirty years.

BUTHAINA AL NASIRI, born in Iraq in 1947, gradu-ated from the College of Arts of the University of Baghdad and has lived in Cairo since 1979, where she runs a publishing house that specializes in the works of Iraqi writers under UN sanctions. Five collections of her own short stories have been pub-lished in Arabic.

By the author of the bestselling novel The Yacoubian Building

Friendly FireTen Tales of Today’s CairoAlaa Al Aswany Translated by Humphrey Davies

Nine short stories and a novel make up this latest offering by Alaa Al Aswany, author of The Yacoubian Building. As in that novel,

Al Aswany dissects modern Egyptian society and reveals with skill and detachment the hypocrisy, violence, and abuse of power characteristic of a world in moral crisis. Here, though, the focus has shifted from the broad historical canvas to the minute stitches of pain that hold together an indi-vidual, a family, a school classroom, or the relation-ship between a man and a woman. Can a man so alienated from his society that he regards all its members as no better than microbes wriggling under a microscope survive within it? Can cynical religiosity triumph over human decency? Can a man put the thought of a delicious dish of beans behind him long enough to mourn his father’s death? Alongside these wry questions, other, less mordant perspectives also have their place: an aging cabaret dancer bestows the blessing of avanished world on her lover’s son; a crippled boy wins subjective victory from objective disaster. In Friendly Fire, readers will find again the vivid, pas-sionate characters of today’s Cairo, clamoring to be heard.

ALAA AL ASWANY was born in 1957. A dentist by profession, Al Aswany is the author of the bestsell-ing novel The Yacoubian Building (AUC Press, 2005) and, most recently, Chicago (AUC Press, 2007).

HUMPHREY DAVIES is the translator of TheYacoubian Building by Alaa Al Aswany, Gate of the Sun by Elias Khoury, for which he was awarded the Banipal Prize for Literary Translation, and TheMahfouz Dialogs by Gamal al-Ghitani (AUC Press, 2007).

A selection of the most important works of Egypt’s great playwright

The Essential Tawfiq al-HakimEdited by Denys Johnson-Davies

The importance of Tawfiq al-Hakim (1898–1989) to the emergence of a modern Arabic literature is second only to that of Naguib

Mahfouz. If the latter put the novel among the genres of writing that are now an accepted part of literary production in the Arab world today, Tawfiq al-Hakim is recognized as the undisputed creator of a literature of the theater.

Of the more than seventy plays he wrote, TheSultan’s Dilemma, dealing with a historical subject in an appealingly light-hearted manner, is perhaps the best known. The other full-length play included here, The Tree Climber, is one that reveals al-Hakim’s openness to outside influences—in this case, the absurdist mode of writing. Of the two one-act plays in this collection, The Donkey Market shows his deftness at turning a traditional folk tale into a hilarious stage comedy.

Included in this volume is an extract fromal-Hakim’s best known novel, the delightful Diary of a Country Prosecutor, in which he draws on his own experience as a public prosecutor in the Egyp-tian countryside. Three short stories are also included, as well as an extract from The Prison of Life, an autobiography in which al-Hakim writes with commendable frankness about himself.

TAWFIQ AL-HAKIM (1898–1989), Egypt’s best known playwright, wrote over seventy plays, as well as a number of novels and short stories and an autobiography.

DENYS JOHNSON-DAVIES has produced more than thirty volumes of translation of modern Arabic lit-erature. His latest translation is Mohamed El-Bisatie’s Hunger (AUC Press, 2008).

Contents: The Sultan’s Dilemma(full-length play), The Tree Climber(full-length play), The Donkey Market (one-act play), The Song of Death (one-act play), Diary of a Country Prosecutor (extract), Mira-cles for Sale (short story), ThePrison of Life (extract), Azrael the Barber (short story), Satan Tri-umphs (short story).

A Libyan novel of the Sahara Desert from the author of Anubis

Gold DustIbrahim al-Koni Translated by Elliott Colla

Rejected by his tribe and hunted by the kin of the man he killed, Ukhayyad and his thoroughbred camel flee across the deso-

late Tuareg deserts of the Sahara. Between bloody wars against the Italians in the north and famine raging in the south, Ukhayyad rides for the remote rock caves of Jebel Hasawna. There, he says fare-well to the mount who has been his companion through thirst, disease, lust, and loneliness. Alone in the desert, haunted by the prophetic cave paint-ings of ancient hunting scenes and the cries of jinn in the night, Ukhayyad awaits the arrival of his pursuers and their insatiable hunger for blood and gold. Gold Dust is a classic story of the brother-hood between man and beast, the thread of com-panionship that is all the difference between life and death in the desert. It is a story of the fight to endure in a world of limitless and waterless wastes, and a parable of the struggle to survive in the most dangerous landscape of all: human society.

IBRAHIM AL-KONI was born in Libya in 1948. A Tuareg who writes in Arabic, he spent his child-hood in the desert and learned to read and write Arabic when he was twelve. He studied compara-tive literature at the Gorky Institute in Moscow and then worked as a journalist in Moscow and Warsaw. His novel Anubis was published by the American University in Cairo Press in 2005, and another novel, The Bleeding of the Stone, has also appeared in English.

ELLIOTT COLLA teaches comparative literature at Brown University. He is the author of Conflicted Antiquities and the translator of The Heron byIbrahim Aslan (AUC Press, 2005) and Poor by Idris Ali (AUC Press, 2007).

By the author of Clamor of the Lake and Over the Bridge

HungerMohamed El-Bisatie Translated by Denys Johnson-Davies

As with his earlier works, MohamedEl-Bisatie’s novel is set in the Egyptian countryside, about which he writes with

such understanding. It deals with Zaghloul a lay-about father, Sakeena his long-suffering wife, and their two young boys. The central theme of the book is hunger: the hunger of not knowing where one’s next meal is coming from, and the universal hunger for sex and love. Sakeena’s life revolves round trying to provide her family with the neces-sary daily bread that will stave off starvation. Labor-shy Zaghloul works on and off at one of the village’s cafés, but prefers to spend his time listen-ing in on conversations about subjects such as poli-tics, which he would have liked—had he but had an education—to know more about. He is also intrigued by the stories told by young university students about their sexual exploits. Eventually chance presents him with a new job: to keep com-pany with an elderly and over-fat man and help him on and off the mule he has to use for getting about.

Despite its bleak title, Hunger is told with a light-ness of touch and the writer’s trademark wry humor.

MOHAMED EL-BISATIE is the author of a number of novels and short story collections, includingA Last Glass of Tea (AUC Press, 1994), Houses behind the Trees (AUC Press, 1997), Clamor of the Lake(AUC Press, 2004), and Over the Bridge (AUC Press, 2006). He was awarded the prestigious Oweiss Prize in 2001.

Casablanca. Othman, a handsome young Moroccan man, returns home to discover his elderly French wife, Sofia, brutally

murdered in their bedroom. Highly educated but chronically unemployed, Othman had been in des-perate straits before meeting Sofia, who pampered him with fancy cars, expensive clothes, and access to her mansion in the most exclusive neighbor-hood in Casablanca. But living with a woman more than forty years his senior was too much forOthman—before his wife’s murder he sought relief in a steamy affair with an attractive young aerobics instructor, Naeema.

The Moroccan police quickly zero in on Othman as the prime suspect in his wife’s murder. But is he guilty? Did he kill his wife for the money and his lover? Or is he an innocent man, framed by cir-cumstance—and an overzealous and brutal police force?

Abdelilah Hamdouchi’s The Final Bet is the first Arabic detective novel to be translated intoEnglish. With it, Hamdouchi joins the ranks ofYasmina Khadra and Henning Mankell, finally bringing the modern Arabic novel to the global stage of detective fiction.

ABDELILAH HAMDOUCHI is one of the first writers of Arabic-language detective fiction. The author of eight novels, Hamdouchi is also an award-winning screenwriter for Moroccan television and cinema. All of his police novels, including The Final Bet,have been produced for Moroccan television. He lives in Rabat, Morocco.

An Iraqi prison novel from the author of The Last of the Angels

Cell Block FiveFadhil al-Azzawi Translated by William M. Hutchins

Being plucked from a Baghdad café and deposited in a cell block for political pris-oners is a wakeup call for Aziz, the novel’s

hero and narrator, a young man who has been liv-ing on automatic pilot—as if he were a guest visit-ing his own life—and he is finally forced to come to terms with the flawed world we inhabit and shape. Although never charged with any offense, he must adjust to a lengthy stay in prison, where he is befriended by imprisoned revolutionaries who teach him to dream that an ideal city with his name on it may lie just over the horizon, while the police supervisor encourages him to think of a sim-ple crime to which he can confess so he can be charged and eventually released.

Written in 1971 and published outside Iraq in 1972, Cell Block Five—the first Iraqi prison novel—was later made into a feature film in Syria. Drawing the reader subtly into the political section of an Iraqi prison, this compelling story easily tran-scends cultural boundaries.

FADHIL AL-AZZAWI was born in Kirkuk, Iraq, in 1940. He holds a Ph.D. in cultural journalism from the University of Leipzig and is the author of sev-eral novels and collections of poetry. In Iraq, he was a member of the Kirkuk Group of poets of the 1960s generation. He has lived in Germany since 1977. His novel The Last of the Angels was published by the AUC Press in 2007.

A lyrical novel of memory from a leading Syro-Lebanese writer

The CraneHalim Barakat Translated by Bassam Frangieh and Roger Allen

In The Crane, the renowned Syro-Lebanese author and sociologist Halim Barakat creates a narrator who looks back wistfully on a child-

hood in a small village of Syria, with the image of flying cranes—and in particular one wounded bird—as a continuing symbol of his emotions toward the past and its impact upon his life. The narrator then travels to the United States, and, with his wife, goes through the experiences of American college life in the 1960s. He describes his participation in the political protests during that fraught decade, and goes on to depict his later life in the American capital of Washington DC and its surroundings. The link between narrator and author is clearly a close one, and yet the careful way in which the narrative’s sequence is con-structed allows the reader to invoke the world of the imagination in interpreting this nostalgic account of a Middle Eastern childhood and its international aftermath.

HALIM BARAKAT is a novelist, critic, and scholar of sociology, who recently retired from a long career on the faculty of Georgetown University inWashington DC. Among his scholarly works in English are Visions of Society: Reality in the Contempo-rary Arabic Novel and The Arab World: Society, Cul-ture, and State.

BASSAM FRANGIEH is a scholar in the field of mod-ern Arabic literature who has taught at several American institutions, most recently Yale Univer-sity. ROGER ALLEN is professor of Arabic language and literature at the University of Pennsylvania. Among his translations from Arabic literature are Naguib Mahfouz’s Mirrors (AUC Press, 1999) and Karnak Café (AUC Press, 2007).

While the fading autumn sun sped toward the horizon, the young boys headed home—they were not used to

trying to see at night without the moon’s glow.” So begins this unconventional, hauntingly mythic novel. In the tradition of magical-realism, Ibrahim Abdel Meguid crafts a tale steeped in symbolism. Writing in a shimmering lyrical style he brings alive the dreams, customs, and everyday concerns of people living in historic obscurity on the fringe of the glitzy, petrodollar kingdoms of the Middle East.

The tale begins on a worksite in Egypt’s Western Desert. Here, in the middle of nowhere, railway men and locals wait in hope for the annual return of a “distant train.” When last it came this vehicle brought with it foreigners, soldiers—and economic opportunity; then it stopped. Each of Abdel Meguid’s characters is allegorical in nature. Each part of the novel is framed by memory and the way remembrance takes shape and affects the charac-ters. The story’s main characters are time and place. Yet its dramatic thrust is the way in which place gives rise to history through the passage of time and the rise and fall of settlement. DistantTrain reaffirms Ibrahim Abdel Meguid’s status as a new, imaginative, and distinct voice in the field of narrative literature and the time-honored arena of storytelling.

IBRAHIM ABDEL MEGUID’s novel The Other Placewas awarded the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Liter-ature and was published by the AUC Press in 1997. He is also the author of No One Sleeps in Alexandria and Birds of Amber (AUC Press, 1999 and 2005).

A dark novel of village life in southern Egypt

The Collar and the BraceletYahya Taher Abdullah Translated by Samah Selim

Set in the ancient Upper Egyptian village of Karnak against the backdrop of the British campaigns in Sudan, the Second World

War, and the war in Palestine, The Collar and the Bracelet is the stunning saga of the Bishari family—a family ripped apart by the violence of history, the dark conduits of human desire, and the rigid social conventions of village life. In a series of masterful narrative circles and repetitions, the novella traces the grim intrigues of Hazina al-Bishari and the inexorable destinies of her son, the exile and noto-rious bandit Mustafa, her daughter Fahima, tor-tured by guilt and secret passion, and the tragic doom of her beautiful granddaughter Nabawiya. Yahya Taher Abdullah’s haunting prose distills the rhythmic lyricism of the folk story and weaves it into a uniquely modernist narrative tapestry of love and revenge that beautifully captures the timeless pharaonic landscapes of Upper Egypt and the blind struggles of its inhabitants against pov-erty, exploitation, and time—themes that are echoed and amplified in the short stories included in this volume, which span the breadth of Abdullah’s tragically short career as one of Egypt’s most bril-liant writers of modern fiction.

YAHYA TAHER ABDULLAH (1938–1981) was the author of four novels. A collection of his stories, The Mountain of Green Tea, translated by Denys Johnson-Davies, was published by the AUC Press in 1999.

SAMAH SELIM is associate researcher at IREMAM in Aix-en-Provence. Her most recent translation is Memories of a Meltdown: An Egyptian betweenMoscow and Chernobyl by Mohamed Makhzangi (AUC Press, 2006).

An innovative textbook for learning Egyptian Arabic

L A N G U A G E S T U D I E S

Kallimni ‘Arabi AktarAn Upper Intermediate Course in Spoken Egyptian ArabicSamia Louis

Aimed at the growing number of students studying Arabic worldwide, Kallimni ‘Arabi Aktar takes an innovative, functional

approach to the study of Egyptian colloquial Arabic—the spoken dialect most frequently stud-ied and most widely understood in the Arab world. Picking up where the previous title in this series, Kallimni ‘Arabi, leaves off, this volume is designed for adult students at the high-intermediate/low-advanced levels of language proficiency. Drawing on her years of experience as an Arabic instructor, author Samia Louis has developed a course rich in everyday cultural content and real-life functional language as well as comprehensive grammar. Writ-ten in accordance with the ACTFL guidelines for teaching Arabic as a foreign language, this highly structured course trains students in the crucial skills, with emphasis on listening and speaking.

Each chapter includes a conversation unit that enables students to improve their communication skills and allows for progressive acquisition of vocabulary and grammar through interactive class-room tasks and everyday situations, from express-ing personal likes and dislikes to initiating conver-sations and describing events and experiences. The accompanying audio CD has recordings of each chapter’s dialogues and exercises, made by native Egyptian speakers to enrich the student’s exposure to the spoken language in its natural context and speed.

SAMIA LOUIS has taught Arabic for more than ten years with the International Language Institute (ILI) in Cairo, an affiliate of the International House World Organization and is the author of Kallimni ‘Arabi: An Intermediate Course in Spoken Egyptian Arabic (AUC Press, 2007).

Linguistics in an Age of GlobalizationPerspectives on Arabic Language and TeachingEdited by Zeinab Ibrahim and Sanaa A.M. Makhlouf

This book is the third of a series of collected volumes on language and linguistics pub-lished by the AUC Press. The chapters this

time are based on papers delivered at the second International AUC–Oxford University Conference on Language and Linguistics, held in 2006 at the American University in Cairo. The contributions reflect global concerns related to both the Arabic and the English languages and to linguistics in gen-eral and are the work of world-renowned scholars.

Twelve chapters grouped in four sections cover a wide variety of topics—phonetics, syntax, varia-tion, computational linguistics, and globalization and its effects on linguistic discourse and language teaching—and reflect the latest research in the various fields, together giving a global perspective on Arabic linguistics.

Contributors: Kirk Belnap, Robert Berman, Samira ElAtia, Mervat Mohamed Ahmed Fashal, Konrad Gunesch, Jacob Høigilt, Zeinab Ibrahim, Gunvor Mejdell, Mark Van Mol, Mustafa Mughazy,Dilworth Parkinson, Irena Vassileva, Diana Yankova.

“Egypt is one of the two wings of the world, and the excellences of which it can boast are countless. Its metropolis is the dome of Islam, its river the most splendid of rivers.”

—al-Muqaddasi, c. 1000

To travelers, Egypt is a place of dreams: a country whose lifeblood is a mighty river, flowing from the heart of Africa. Along the

fertile fringe of its banks an astonishing civiliza-tion raised spectacular monuments that our mod-ern minds can hardly encompass. For centuries this past dominated travelers’ minds—yet the present and its great buildings too engaged their interest and admiration and gave them pleasure. The expe-rience of Egypt has over the centuries inspired travelers to write of what they saw and tried to understand. These travelers’ observations are part of the history of modern Egypt, for seeing our-selves through others’ eyes helps us to understand ourselves. The compilers of this anthology have selected records of travelers from many countries and cultures over many centuries, and, mainly using the Nile for a pathway, here offer these trav-elers’ observations on the many facets of Egypt. The collection includes extracts from the writings of Herodotus, Strabo, Ibn Hawkal, al-Muqaddasi, Pierre Loti, Rudyard Kipling, Florence Nightin-gale, and many more.

No land on earth has been so comprehen-sively observed as Egypt, which was attracting awestruck travelers back in the

days of Herodotus and Julius Caesar. This rich and varied collection brings the diversity and the conti-nuity of Egypt together to give a picture of this country, its many places, its long history, and its people: the pharoahs, sultans, pilgrims to Sinai, Crusaders, and Napoleon, followed by the Grand Tourists of the eighteenth century and those less grand with Thomas Cook in the nineteenth.

The range of voices gathered here is dazzling: an ancient myth from a papyrus next to Naguib Mahfouz’s account of Alexandria, Florence Night-ingale describing Abu Simbel side by side with Ahdaf Soueif ’s description of Sinai. A description of medieval Cairo by Ibn Jubayr walks hand in hand with one of the modern city by the Egyptian thinker Taha Hussein. Lucie Duff-Gordon sails up the Nile, Edward Lane crawls through a sand-filled temple, and Isambard Kingdom Brunel struggles up the cataract above Aswan.

Bathed to the north by the waters of the Mediterranean, and flanked on either side by the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Eilat,

the Sinai peninsula narrows down to its southern tip, where a breathtaking sweep of jagged rock marks its meeting point with the Red Sea. The Sinai’s interior boasts a thriving flora and fauna, lush oases, major archaeological and religious sites, and the stark drama of desert and mountain land-scape. The coast is no less spectacular for its golden sands and crystalline waters and for the scenery and variety of sea life to be found under-water, in the coral reefs that encircle the peninsu-la’s southern end.

But where can a visitor begin to explore the Sinai and how? Stunningly illustrated with over 350 full-color maps and photographs, the Guide to the Explo-ration of the Sinai covers a wide range of detailed itineraries for every kind of journey. Each gives thorough description of the route taken, including key distances and stops along the way, the general terrain, scenic highlights, historical facts, and details of interesting wildlife and plants.

In 1872, Ismail Pasha, the khedive of Egypt, was the first to adopt the European custom of positioning heroic statues on public display as

a symbolic message of the continuing authority of the ruling Muhammad Ali dynasty to which he belonged, but it was not until the early twentieth century and the determination of sculptorMahmoud Mukhtar that such public art gained general acceptance, and today statues stand, ride, or sit in the streets, squares, and gardens of Cairo. Each sculpture adds a piece to the jigsaw of history spanning personalities and events that shaped the city and wider Egypt from 1805 to 1970, and here Cairo-based author Lesley Lababidi provides a unique perspective on Egyptian history through looking at more than fifty statues and monumental sculptures and the stories behind them.

Between statues, she explores Cairo’s growth and its multidimensional identity, and examines the relationship of Cairo’s modern denizens with the landscapes, districts, palaces, archaeological sites, cafés, bridges, and gardens of their great and maddening city, the Mother of the World.

Illustrated throughout with color and black-and-white photographs by the author, Cairo’s Street Sto-ries presents a unique and lively view of the history that fashioned the city’s streets and open spaces, and of the many and often unexpected uses to which its inventive inhabitants put them.

LESLEY LABABIDI, who raised three children in Cairo, is the author of Cairo: The Family Guide(AUC Press, new revised edition 2006) and Silent No More: Special Needs People in Egypt (AUC Press, 2002). She also updated and edited the latest edi-tion of Cairo: The Practical Guide (AUC Press, 2006).
