Description

Explore a unique period of Middle Eastern history with Histories of the Jews of Egypt: An Imagined Bourgeoisie, 1880s-1950s. This scholarly work from Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern History examines the diverse Jewish community that lived in Egypt before the era of Nasser and the 1956 War. Focusing primarily on the urban centers of Alexandria and Cairo, the book investigates how this Jewish diaspora shaped the social and cultural landscape of the country. The text presents a compelling argument that this community functioned as an "imagined bourgeoisie," developing a resilient identity that influenced daily life. Readers will learn how this bourgeois identity manifested in both the public arena and private settings. By looking at institutions such as schools and the domestic life within the home, the study provides a detailed look at how social structures were built and maintained during these decades. This is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the social and cultural history of Jewish communities in North Africa.
