4.9/5 (18057 ratings)

Description:The voices of Americans have long been absent from studies of modern Egypt. Most scholars assume that Americans were either not in Egypt in significant numbers during the nineteenth century or had little of importance to say. This volume shows that neither was the case by introducing 15 American personalities who worked, lived, or traveled in Egypt from the 1770s to the commencement of World War I and relating their experiences and attitudes, often in their own words. Explorers, consuls, tourists, soldiers, missionaries, artists, scientists, and scholars, they offer a rare American perspective on everyday Egyptian life and provide a new perspective on many historically significant events. The stories of these individuals and their sojourns not only recount the culture and history of Egypt but also convey the domination of the country by European powers and the support for Egypt by a young American nation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
