Egyptian nationalist politics challenged British rule but not internal social hierarchies

Evidence

Sanüa thus provides a reliable example of a duality around which Egyptian nationalism was beginning to take shape. This dichotomous approach to empire was articulated in racial terms. Although Sanüa was fiercely critical of Great Britain’s imperialism in India and feared the same fate for Egypt, his work reveals an intimate empire, in which the Sudanese were the servants, guards, and doorkeepers of Egyptian society. Although the Sudan itself was depicted as a wild and untamed land, Sudanese residents in Egypt were often portrayed as docile, fearful, and in need of Egyptian guidance. As the following two excerpts show, Sanüa saw more than just a geographic border between the Sudan and Egypt: he saw a bridge of dependency as well. — <cite>Eve M.
