Recensione

"A book that is as likely to be of interest to the growing number of disciples of Marxist labor history pioneered by E. J. Hobsbawm and E. P. Thompson as to students of the history of modern Egypt. The authors are clearly committed to the view that a reexamination of the living conditions and political aspirations of the working class is inseparable from the practice and writing of history. They have written a vigorous and well-documented study of the political and organizational structure of Egyptian trade unionism as an important if not determining aspect of the rise and development of Egyptian nationalism in the first half of the twentieth century."--Choice

Dalla quarta di copertina

"This is one of the first studies in the English language of the Egyptian working class and certainly the most comprehensive of any study including those written in Arabic. . . . It presents a rich overview of a topic that has been largely neglected or treated in polemical fashion by Arab and non-Arab scholars alike. The combined efforts of the two authors have resulted in a wealth of new data that makes this book a path-breaking work. All students of labor history will find it of great interest."--Eric M. Davis, Rutgers University
