Workers on the Nile. Nationalism, Communism, Islam and the Egyptian Working Class, 1882 - 1954.
Princeton. Princeton University Press. 1987. Stock ID #1364 "The authors challenge traditional scholarship by demonstrating the importance of the working class and of class struggle in the history of modern Egypt. Dissenting from the conventional view that Egyptian workers were simply passive followers of bourgeois nationalist notables, they argue persuasively that the growth of large-scale capitalist enterprises in industry and transport created the context within which workers played an increasingly independent political role."
