The Pasha's Peasants: Land, Society and Economy in Lower Egypt, 1740-1858 (Cambridge Middle East Library)

This is a pathbreaking study of the rural origins of modern Egypt, dealing with the period of the rise of the modern state and the country's incorporation into the world economy. Professor Cuno uses previously underexploited sources to shed new light on changes in the system of peasant land tenure, urban-rural commerce, the rural social structure, and the interplay of formal law with peasant customs and attitudes.Kenneth M.
