Kämil framed the Sudan as a wounded victim mirroring the slave woman Zanüba
Evidence
Both at home and while traveling in Europe, he campaigned for French and German support for Egyptians in their struggle with Great Britain. In his eloquent pleas for the recognition of his country’s difficulties, Kämil created an image of a wounded Sudan, a spectacle of victimization that evoked the figure of Zanüba, sitting alone before foreign judges. — Eve M.
