The Age Of The Efendiyya: Passages To Modernity In National-Colonial Egypt (Oxford Historical Monographs)

In colonial-era Egypt, a new social category of "modern men" emerged, the efendiyya, who represented the new middle class elite. This volume explores how they assumed a key political role in the anti-colonial movement and in the building of a modern state both before and after the revolution of 1952. 9780199681778 0199681775 297 BOOK History NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=8rmcAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
