Related to the migration of diverse communities, that had a distinguished role in Egyptian economy, from Egypt, these shifts have mostly been discussed in the light of postcolonial studies and the nationalisation policies in the wider region. Najat Abdulhaq focuses instead on the role that these minorities had in the economy of pre-Nasser Egypt and, by giving special attention to the Jewish and Greek communities residing in Egypt, investigates the dynamics of minorities involved in entrepreneurship and business. With rigorous analysis of the types of companies that were set up, Abdulhaq draws out the changes which were occurring in the political and social sphere at the time. This book, whilst primarily focused on the economic activities of these two minority communities, has implications for an understanding analysis of the political, the juridical, the intellectual and the cultural trends at the time. It thus offers vital analysis for those examining the economic history of Egypt, as well as the political and cultural transformations of the twentieth century in the region."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of Middle East history ;$vv. 58. 517 3 $aEntrepreneurship and business before Nasser 606 $aBusinesspeople$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aBusinesspeople$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aEntrepreneurship$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aGreeks$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aJewish businesspeople$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aJews$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aMinorities$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aMinority business enterprises$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $2African history 607 $aEgypt$xCommerce$xHistory 607 $aEgypt$xEconomic conditions$y19th century 607 $aEgypt$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 615 0$aBusinesspeople$xHistory. 615 0$aBusinesspeople$xHistory. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship$xHistory. 615 0$aGreeks$xHistory. 615 0$aJewish businesspeople$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aMinorities$xHistory. 615 0$aMinority business enterprises$xHistory. 676 $a962.004924 700 $aAbdulhaq$b Najat$01480815 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798363303321 996 $aJewish and Greek communities in Egypt$93697596 997 $aUNINA
