Evidence

His long poem about the Sudan imparts a kind of knowledge different from that shared by the other three voyagers. His master work, Manähij al-albäb al-misriya fï mabähij al-adäb al-asriya, offers a more politicized sense of Egypt’s cultural geography. His particular poem about the Sudan and its people also demonstrates how the process of colonialism and nationalism came to be racialized, and how an increasing sense of racial difference could be incorporated into a sense of political and cultural boundaries. — Eve M.

Categorization

• DEEPTHINKING: A nuanced point: colonial domination of a southern neighbor coexisted with Egypt’s own vulnerability to Europe, and racial difference got folded into the very definition of Egyptian national identity.
• SEED: Article angle: how colonized nations can themselves reproduce racial hierarchies against their own southern/peripheral others while forging anti-colonial national identities.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Eve M. Troutt Powell, A Different Shade of Colonialism_…, 135
• XREF: connects to: Egyptian nationalism was defined against the Sudanese as racial other; Egyptian anti-British nationalism preserved the internal racial hierarchy over Sudanese; Egyptian nationalism’s founder also codified racial disdain for the Sudanese (+20 more)
