Mubärak paralleled African experiences of being stared at with Egyptians in Europe

Evidence

What my study challenges in Said’s work is the idea that Egyptians suffered in silence, the idea that many in Egypt did not themselves engage in a discourse of stereotypes and fantasies about the Sudan specifically and Africa in general, a discourse that paralleled Orientalist imagery. Although he wrote many pages on the objectification of Egypt in European literature, Said did not include in Orientalism a single sample of Egyptian literature or a discussion of Egyptians’ long history of creative and eventually successful response to the British occupation. Even had he included such material, Said would have had to address other levels of often contradictory discourse, particularly in reference to the Sudan. As Ania Loomba writes, “‘Colonialism’ is not just something that happens from outside a country or a people, not just something that operates with the collusion of forces inside, but a version of it can be duplicated from within.” — Eve M.
