Re-envisioning Egypt 1919-1952

CFP: edited volume

Call for Papers

We are writing you to announce a project for an edited volume on Egypt between 1919 and the 1952 Revolution, and to enthusiastically invite you to submit a proposal for a chapter in this book. The editors - Arthur Goldschmidt (Pennsylvania State University), Barak Salmoni (Moravian College), and Amy J. Johnson (Berry College) - seek welcome proposals addressing the core issue of new approaches to the monarchical period. Our volume will endeavor to present new and/or often dismissed aspects of the period, arguing against the predominant view of the pre-revolutionary era Egypt as a stagnant period, and revising our understanding of the 1919-1952 years as integral to modern state formation, nationalist articulation, and social transformation.

 

Appropriate proposals might address issues such as:

  • Development of state structures and state interest groups
  • Socio-economic development programs
  • Urban-rural dynamics
  • Issues of public health
  • Education
  • Political debates
  • Emerging classes and their socio-political mobilization
  • Egypt in the international domain, regionally and globally
  • Trends in literary production
  • Egyptians abroad

Papers addressing other issues that fit within the scope of the volume are also welcome.

Potential contributors should send the following:

  • Paper proposal of approximately 500 words
  • Brief cv containing degrees earned, institutional affiliation, and major publications
  • Contact information, including telephone, fax, mail address(es), and email

All materials must be in MS Word format. Send proposal and cv to:
