Description

The 1919 Egyptian revolution was the founding event for modern Egypt’s nation state.

So far there has been no text that looks at the causes, consequences and legacies of the 1919 Egyptian Revolution.

This book addresses that gap, with Egyptian and non-Egyptian scholars discussing a range of topics that link back to that crucial event in Egyptian history.

Across nine chapters, the book analyzes the causes and course of the 1919 revolution; its impacts on subsequent political beliefs, practices and institutions; and its continuing legacy as a means of regime legitimation. The chapters reveal that the 1919 Egyptian Revolution divided the British while uniting Egyptians.

However, the “revolutionary moment” was superseded by efforts to restore Britain's influence in league with a reassertion of monarchical authority.

Those efforts enjoyed tactical, but not long-term strategic success, in part because the 1919 revolution had unleashed nationalist forces that could never again be completely contained.

The book covers key issues surrounding the 1919 Egyptian Revolution such as the role played by Lord Allenby; internal schisms within the British government struggling to cope with the revolution; Muslim—Christian relations; and divisions among the Egyptians.
