The New Mamluks: Egyptian Society and Modern Feudalism - Middle East Studies Beyond Dominant Paradigms
Amira Sonbol
This study of modern Egypt aims to open the debate regarding new terms and methods for understanding the Middle East and Islamic societies. Sonbol shows continuity in the division of Egyptian society into two groups: the ""Khassa"" which tried to impose a hegemonic culture, and the opposing ""Amma"".
