Sudanese elites debated unity with Egypt under British surveillance

Evidence

The chapter concludes with the ways in which Sudanese figures debated the issue of unity with Egypt under the watchful eyes of British administrators in the Sudan, and a discussion of how the dualism of the colonized colonizer was viewed by people in the Sudan, nominally colonized by both Great Britain and Egypt. — Eve M.

• XREF: The ‘colonized colonizer’ echoes Albert Memmi’s analysis of the colonized intellectual and postcolonial hierarchies among colonized peoples; relevant to the reader’s Egypt-vs-Sudan comparative framework.
