Colonial collaborators simultaneously resented and depended on their colonial masters.

Evidence

On the other hand, Fawzï resented the British army as an occupying force even as he traveled with one of the highest ranking British officers in Egypt. His text thus shows that Fawzï Pasha lived these years on the brink, his loyalties and allegiances so divided and confused that he could spend months in jail, unrepentant over his protest against Tawfïq’s capitulations to the British administrators in the occupying government, yet sail off to the Sudan with Gordon, grateful to return to a land that, in his firm opinion, required civilizing. — Eve M.

Categorization

• XREF: Directly serves the reader’s core question about shades of coloniality — Egyptian as both colonized (by Britain) and colonizer (of Sudan) simultaneously. — connects to: Colonial elite lawyers resented amateur competitors for fees and status — Lawrence M. Friedman, A History of American Law, 551
• DEEPTHINKING: The doubled position of the Egyptian officer — colonized subject who resents his own occupier while embracing the civilizing mission over Sudan — is a dense, paradigm-reshaping portrait of nested coloniality.
