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 court records, fatwas, and land tax registers to shed new light on changes in the system of peasant land tenure, urbanrural commerce, the rural social structure, and the interplay of formal law with peasant customs and attitudes. The author refutes the conventional view of modern Egyptian history, and indeed many other studies of 'modernization' in the nonWestern world. The traditional thesis argues that intensified contact with Europe brought on the 'awakening' of the modern nation. Cuno, on the other hand, convincingly demonstrates that the rise of cashcrop agriculture, the commoditisation of land, the concept of private property, and the appearance of a stratified rural society were actually centuriesold features of the Egyptian countryside.
