Imagined Empires charts modes of subaltern rebellion against the destructive policies of colonial intruders and collaborating local elites in the south of Egypt. Abul-Magd vividly narrates stories of sabotage, banditry, flight, and massive uprisings of peasants and laborers, to challenge myths of imperial competence. The book depicts forms of subaltern discontent against "imagined empires" that failed in achieving their professed goals and brought about environmental crises to Qina province. As the book deconstructs myths about early modern and modern world hegemons, it reveals that imperial modernity and its market economy altered existing systems of landownership, irrigation, and trade- leading to such destructive occurrences as the plague and cholera epidemics. The book also deconstructs myths in Egyptian historiography, highlighting the problems of a Cairo-centered idea of the Egyptian nation-state. The book covers the Ottoman, French, Muhammad Ali's, and the British informal and formal empires. It alludes to the U.S. and its failed market economy in Upper Egypt, which partially resulted in Qina's participation in the 2011 revolution. Imagined Empires is a timely addition to Middle Eastern and world history. 606 $aPeasants$xPolitical activity$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aWorking class$xPolitical activity$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aGovernment, Resistance to$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aRevolutions$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aImperialism$xHistory 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zEgypt$xHistory 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government 607 $aEgypt$xColonial influence 610 $aafrica. 610 $abritish empire. 610 $acairo. 610 $acholera epidemic. 610 $acolonial intruders. 610 $acountry life. 610 $aegypt. 610 $aegyptian historiography. 610 $aegyptian history. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aenvironmental crises. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $amarket economy. 610 $amassive uprisings. 610 $amiddle eastern history. 610 $anobility. 610 $aottoman empire. 610 $aplague. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apower and wealth. 610 $aqina province. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $arevolt. 610 $arevolution. 610 $aroyalty. 610 $aslavery. 610 $asubaltern discontent. 610 $asubaltern rebellion. 610 $awarfare. 610 $aworld history. 615 0$aPeasants$xPolitical activity$xHistory. 615 0$aWorking class$xPolitical activity$xHistory. 615 0$aGovernment, Resistance to$xHistory. 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory. 615 0$aElite (Social sciences)$xHistory. 676 $a962/.3 700 $aAbul-Magd$b Zeinab$f1976-$01532586 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786935903321 996 $aImagined empires$93778811 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01047nas 2200361 c 450 001 9910894278503321 005 20171201165618.0 035 $a(CKB)5280000000198605 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2722668-2 035 $a(OCoLC)854746418 035 $a(DE-101)1036671755 035 $a(EXLCZ)995280000000198605 100 $a20130702a19969999 |y | 101 0 $apor 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aAque?m e ale?m do ce?rebro$e... simpo?sio da Fundac?a?o Bial = Behind and beyond the brain$fFundac?a?o Bial 210 31$aSa?o Mamede de Coronado$cBial$d1996- 215 $aOnline-Ressource 517 1 $aBehind and beyond the brain 608 $aZeitschrift$2gnd-content 676 $a610 686 $a5,21$2ssgn 712 02$aFundac?a?o Bial$4isb 801 0$b0025 801 1$bDE-101 801 2$b9999 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910894278503321 996 $aAque?m e ale?m do ce?rebro$94253947 997 $aUNINA
