Titel: Seeking Bread and Fortune in Port Said Zustand: New Subtitle: Labor Migration and the Making of the Suez Canal, 1859–1906 ISBN-10: 0520385500 EAN: 9780520385504 ISBN: 9780520385504 Verlag: University of California Press Produktart: Gebundene Ausgabe Release date: 08/08/2023 Description: Seeking Bread and Fortune in Port Said probes migrant labor's role in shaping the history of the Suez Canal and modern Egypt. It maps the everyday life of Port Said's residents between 1859, when the town was founded as the Suez Canal's northern harbor, and 1906, when a railway connected it to the rest of Egypt. Through groundbreaking research, Lucia Carminati provides a ground-level perspective on the key processes touching late nineteenth-century Egypt: heightened domestic mobility and immigration, intensified urbanization, changing urban governance, and growing foreign encroachment. By privileging migrants' prosaic lives, Seeking Bread and Fortune in Port Said shows how unevenness and inequality laid the groundwork for the Suez Canal's making.
