The Large Landowning Class and Peasantry in Egypt, 1837-1952 - Raouf Abbas - Bog

Combined into one volume and translated into English for the first time from two seminal Arabic works published in the 1970s, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of landownership and its effects on Egyptian society. The authors draw from extensive archival sources, successfully integrating in their work the competing forces of the state, the landlords, and the peasants.
