Egyptian resentment stemmed from losing mastery over the Sudanese

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.
