Egyptian nationalists occupied a colonized-colonizer duality toward Britain and Sudan.

Evidence

What Kämil and many other theoreticians of Egyptian nationalist ideals expressed was the perspective of the colonized colonizer. This duality gave these men a Janus-like view of the world in which they lived, and of the nation they wished to bequeath the next generation of Egyptians: an Egypt whose past greatness and regional power could be grasped once again in the Sudan, free of the political and economic control of the British government. — Eve M.

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines the ‘colonized colonizer’ category — a nationalist ideology simultaneously defensively anti-British and aggressively expansionist toward Sudan.
• XREF: This Janus-faced nationalism parallels colonized-elite dynamics in ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ and Saidian critiques; connects to the reader’s framework on shades of coloniality in Africa.
