Egypt was simultaneously a British colony and a colonizer of Sudan.

Evidence

The chapter concludes with the ways in which Sudanese figures debated the issue of unity with Egypt under the watchful eyes of British administrators in the Sudan, and a discussion of how the dualism of the colonized colonizer was viewed by people in the Sudan, nominally colonized by both Great Britain and Egypt. — Eve M.

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Introduces the ‘colonized colonizer’ concept — Egypt as both colonized by Britain and colonizer of Sudan under the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium.
  • QUESTION: A core term for the reader’s Egypt-vs-Sudan colonial comparison — worth watching how the book develops the dualism of Egypt as both victim and perpetrator.
  • corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Eve M. Troutt Powell, A Different Shade of Colonialism_…, 121
  • XREF: connects to: Egypt faced triangular colonialism from Ottoman, British, and Sudanese forces; Egypt’s own colonizing of Sudan shaped its sense of nationhood; Sanü`a saw Egypt as simultaneously inside three empires including its own Sudan colony (+40 more)
