The British in Egypt: Community, Crime and Crises, 1882-1922

Lanver Mak, "The British in Egypt: Community, Crime and Crises, 1882-1922 "
English | ISBN: 1848857098 | 2012 | 344 pages | PDF | 4 MB

Egypt during the British occupation (1882-1922) was a strategically important site for securing British interests in the region. Most studies of Britons in Egypt during the occupation focus on the lives and activities of law-abiding British military and political elites. Using a variety of primary sources, this book deepens our understanding of the hidden British community beyond these elites - the lower and working classes, and those engaged in crime and misconduct - by bringing to light their demographic profile, socio-occupational diversity, criminal activities and varying responses to the crises represented by World War I and the revolutionary period of 1919-1922. It will be essential reading for historians of British imperialism, Egypt and the Middle East.
