Lisa Pollard deftly argues that the Egyptian state's modernizing projects in the nineteenth century reinforced ideals of monogamy and bourgeois domesticity among Egypt's elite classes and connected those ideals with political and economic success. At the same time, the British used domestic and personal practices such as polygamy, the harem, and the veiling of women to claim that the ruling classes had become corrupt and therefore to legitimize an open-ended tenure for themselves in Egypt. To rid themselves of British rule, bourgeois Egyptian nationalists constructed a familial-political culture that trained new generations of nationalists and used them to demonstrate to the British that it was time for the occupation to end. That culture was put to use in the 1919 Egyptian revolution, in which the reformed, bourgeois family was exhibited as the standard for "modern" Egypt. 606 $aFamilies$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aFamily policy$zEgypt$xCross-cultural studies$xHistory 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory. 615 0$aFamily policy$xCross-cultural studies$xHistory. 676 $a306.85/0962 700 $aPollard$b Lisa$01000760 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450374603321 996 $aNurturing the nation$92457216 997 $aUNINA
