Hassan Fathy and Continuity inIslamic Arts and ArchitectureThe Birth of a New Modern

Ahmad HamidTradition and innovation in the work of the world-renowned architect

Through his path-breaking design documents andbuilt projects, Hassan Fathy, the Egyptian architectknown for his recognition of the potential of vernac-ular forms, single-handedly sought to reintegrate theartistic traditions of Islam with contemporary design.

Ahmad Hamid here identifies questions aboutthe nature of Islamic art and its building culture, ana-lyzing the rise of an assumed opposition betweentraditional and modern concepts. The subsequentreemergence of Islamic art and architecture as a vitalforce within the modern world followed the estab-lishment of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture as adiscussion platform dedicated to the built environ-ment within present Muslim societies.

In the light of this reawakening, and incorporat-ing Fathy’s seminal work, the author projects thesocioeconomic, environmental, psychological, andesthetic components onto a new critical theory ofmodernity for the 21st century, neither western noreastern exclusively.

Ahmad Hamid is an Egyptian architect who collaboratedwith Hassan Fathy in the Institute for Appropriate Technology.He was awarded a Fulbright design study grant at PrattInstitute in 2005, and the Frank G. Wisner award in 2007.

The Akhenaten Colossi of KarnakLise MannicheA look at the iconography of one of ancient Egypt’smost enigmatic kings

Some of the most fascinating sculptures to have sur-vived from ancient Egypt are the colossal statues ofAkhenaten, erected at the beginning of his reign inhis new temple to the Aten at Karnak. Fragments ofmore than thirty statues are now known, showingthe paradoxical features combining male andfemale, young and aged, characteristic of represen-tations of this king. Did he look like this in real life?Or was his iconography skilfully devised to mirrorhis concept of his role in the universe? The authorpresents the history of the discovery of the statuefragments from 1925 to the present day; the profu-sion of opinions on the appearance of the king andhis alleged medical conditions; and the various sug-gestions for an interpretation of the perplexing evi-dence. A complete catalog of all major fragments isincluded, as well as many pictures not previouslypublished.

Lise Manniche was educated at the universities ofCopenhagen and Cambridge. She is the author of numer-ous books and articles on ancient Egyptian art, music, sex-ual life, perfume, Theban tombs, and especially theAmarna period.

Coptic Identity and Ayyubid Politics in Egypt1218–1250

Kurt WerthmullerA revealing examination of communal relations inthe medieval Middle East

Using the life and writings of Cyril III Ibn Laqlaq,75th patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church,along with a variety of Christian and Muslim chroni-clers, this study explores the identity and context ofthe Christian community of Egypt and its relationswith the leadership of the Ayyubid dynasty in theearly thirteenth century. Kurt Werthmuller introducesnew scholarship that illuminates the varied relation-ships between medieval Christians of Egypt andtheir Muslim neighbors. Demonstrating that theCoptic community was neither passive nor static,the author discusses the active role played by theCopts in the formation and evolution of their ownidentity within the wider political and societal con-text of this period. In particular, he examines theboundaries between Copts and the wider Egyptiansociety in the Ayyubid period in three “in-betweenspaces”: patriarchal authority, religious conversion,and monasticism.

Kurt J. Werthmuller is assistant professor of history atAzusa Pacific University in Azusa, CA. He holds a PhD inMiddle Eastern history from the University of California,Santa Barbara.

For Better, For WorseThe Marriage Crisis that Made Modern Egypt

Hanan KholoussyAn examination of the early twentieth-centurymarriage and society

For many Egyptians in the early twentieth century,the biggest national problem was not British domi-nation or the Great Depression but a marriage crisisheralded in the press as a devastating rise in thenumber of middle-class men refraining from mar-riage. Voicing anxieties over a presumed increase inbachelorhood, Egyptians also used the failings ofEgyptian marriage to criticize British rule, unem-ployment, the disintegration of female seclusion, theinflux of women into schools, middle-class material-ism, and Islamic laws they deemed incompatiblewith modernity.

For Better, For Worse explores how marriagebecame the lens through which Egyptians critiquedlarger socioeconomic and political concerns.Delving into the vastly different portrayals and prac-tices of marriage in both the press and the Islamiccourt records, this innovative look at how Egyptiansunderstood marital and civil rights and duties duringthe early twentieth century offers fresh insights intoongoing debates about nationalism, colonialism,gender, and the family.

Anchored in the Egyptian historical and socialcontexts and inspired by the influential work ofPierre Bourdieu, it rigorously places these debatesand battles within the larger framework of a set ofquestions about the relationship between the cultur-al and political fields in Egypt.

At its heartlies the Nile itself. Yet whilst the importance of theriver is well documented for the colonial period thereis no comprehensive account of its management afterindependence. The River Nile in the Post-colonialAge details the modern development of the NileBasin and the efforts to manage its waters. Withimportant new material by researchers from each ofthe countries through which the Nile passes, it pro-vides an indispensable aid to understanding the com-plex history of the basin, the politics surrounding it,and the efforts being made to jointly manage it.

Terje Tvedt is professor of geography at the University ofBergen and professor of political science at the Universityof Oslo. He is the author of The River Nile in the Age ofthe British (AUC Press, 2006), which was shortlisted for theBritish Society for Middle East Studies Prize 2004.

Shop Floor Culture andPolitics in EgyptSamer ShehataAn insider study of the worker identity inEgyptian industry

This new study provides us with a unique anddetailed ethnographic portrait of life within twolarge textile factories in Alexandria, Egypt. Workingfor nearly a year as a winding machine operatorprovided Shehata with unprecedented access toworkers at the point of production and the activitiesof the work hall. He argues that the social organiza-tion of production in the factories—including com-pany rules and procedures, hierarchy, and relationsof authority—and shop floor culture profoundlyshape what it means to be a ‘worker’ and how thisidentity is understood. Shehata reveals how eco-nomic relations inside the factory are simultaneous-ly relations of significance and meaning, and howthe production of wool and cotton textiles is, at thesame time, the production of categories of identity,patterns of human interaction, and understandingsof the self and others.

Samer Shehata is assistant professor of Arab politics atGeorgetown University.

The Coptic Papacy in Islamic EgyptMark N. SwansonVolume 2 of The Popes of Egypt: A History of theCoptic Church and Its Patriarchs

In Volume 1 of this series, Stephen Davis contendedthat the themes of “apostolicity, martyrdom, monasticpatronage, and theological resistance” were determi-native for the cultural construction of Egyptian churchleadership in late antiquity. Volume 2, The CopticPapacy in Islamic Egypt, shows that the medievalCoptic popes (641–1517 CE) were regularly portrayedas standing in continuity with their saintly predeces-sors; however, at the same time, they were active increating something new, the Coptic Orthodox Church,a community that struggled to preserve a distinctivelife and witness within the new Islamic world order.

Building on recent advances in the study ofsources for Coptic church history, the present volumeaims to show how portrayals of the medieval popesprovide a window into the religious and social life oftheir community.

In the far southwestern corner of Egypt lies one ofthe most fascinating and least known regions of theSahara Desert, declared a National Park by theEgyptian government in 2007 for its great archaeo-logical and natural-historical heritage.

The Gilf Kebir, a broad massif twice the size ofCorsica, and Gebel Uweinat, a 2,000-meter insel-berg, were discovered only in the 1920s, andexplored in the decades following, but today anincreasing number of visitors are able to reach thisunique area on long desert expeditions and experi-ence for themselves the special geology and ecologyof the place and the extraordinary rock paintingsfrom Neolithic times.

Now, in lucid text and colorful photographs,drawings, maps, and satellite images, Alberto Siliottiguides the intrepid visitor to the features of theNational park, with notes on what to take on such along desert trip and what not to leave behind.

Alberto Siliotti is a scientific journalist who specializes inEgyptology. He has written several books including TheDiscovery of Ancient Egypt (AUC Press, 1998), TheIllustrated Guide to the Pyramids of Egypt (AUC Press,2003), and the popular series of Egypt Pocket Guides.
