architecture and the arts 15 Re:viewing Egypt Image and Echo Photographs by Xavier Roy Text by Gamal al-Ghitani A unique and surprising photographic presentation that invites us to look twice Xavier Roy’s breathtaking photographs of Egypt offer us a haunting vision of a country and its people. They are also a lesson in the art of photography itself, inviting us to experience images as metaphor, to extend our notions of reality. We observe the correspondences of shape and texture, perspective and repetition, light and shadow, and the vitality in the mundane and commonplace. A photograph of an acacia tree is juxtaposed with one of birds in flight, their formation and movement echoing the outline and feather-like aspect of the tree. Each photograph is at once an offer of tranquility and a call to interpret. Gamal al-Ghitani’s profoundly contemplative introduction is both inspiring and inspired by Roy’s gallery of images, compelling us to observe Egypt’s riches not as passive onlookers, but as engaged, reflective beings.

Xavier Roy’s photographs have been exhibited in France, New York, and Brazil, and his books include The Soul of Cuba and All Our Children. Gamal al-Ghitani is the author of The Mahfouz Dialogs (AUC Press, 2007), and The Zafarani Files (AUC Press, 2009).

16 architecture and the arts Gaza Graffiti Messages of Love and Politics Mia Gröndahl A photographic exploration of Gaza’s writing on the wall

Graffiti began in Gaza in 1987, during the first Intifada, when there was no Palestinian television or radio in the Gaza Strip, and no newspapers: the messages that spread along the walls became an important means of communication. Over the years, all political groups have had their own graffiti artists. Scrawl is not tolerated—it has to look good. Hamas even offers evening classes in graffiti. Documenting the writings on the walls of Gaza over a period of seven years, celebrated Swedish photojournalist Mia Gröndahl lays before us the many roles that they perform, the colorful and sur- prising range of their artistic expression, and their reflection of the changing political situation. And apart from political slogans, the walls bear witness too to joy and sadness: the wedding celebrations, the many victims of the conflict, and the ever present hope of peace and freedom. For us on the outside, Mia Gröndahl’s photographs offer an exciting and unexpected view of life in Gaza.

Mia Gröndahl was born in 1951 and lives in Cairo and southern Sweden. She is the photographer of In Hope and Despair: Life in the Palestinian Refugee Camps (AUC Press, 2003).

travel literature and guidebooks 23 A Photographer on the Hajj The Travels of Muhammad ‘Ali Effendi Sa‘udi (1904/1908) Farid Kioumgi and Robert Graham One of the earliest visual records of the Hajj and the holy cities of Mecca and Medina

The diaries of Muhammad ‘Ali Effendi Sa‘udi, a civil servant and accomplished photographer, offer a rare glimpse of the Hajj through Egyptian eyes at the beginning of the twentieth century when the Ottoman Empire was on the wane and the advance of the Hijaz railway threatened to upset vested interests in the old pattern of pilgrimage. Sa‘udi twice accompanied the Amir al-Hajj, Ibrahim Rif‘at Pasha, attached to the official Egyptian caravan. His story of these journeys combines the thoughts of a devout Muslim with fine detail on the hardships and health hazards facing pilgrims, the high-level intrigues, and the ever-present dangers of taking photographs. The authors have compressed the diaries into a highly readable narrative with selected quota- tions, lavishly illustrated with Sa‘udi’s remarkable photographs.

Farid Kioumgi is a specialist on literature and travel to the Middle East, including historical documents, lithographs, and nineteenth-century photographs. Robert Graham is currently a freelance writer living in Paris and southern Spain. In 2004 he was awarded the OBE for services to journalism.

26 language studies Before the Throne Naguib Mahfouz A Modern Arabic Novel Translated by Raymond Stock The Nobel laureate puts Egypt’s leaders on trial

In this extraordinary drama-in-dialog, Naguib Mahfouz reveals his love for all of Egypt’s extensive history— and his deep knowledge of it. In Before the Throne, he summons nearly sixty of Egypt’s rulers to the afterlife Court of Osiris, from a king who unified Egypt for the first time, around 3000 BC, to a president assassinated by religious extremists in 1981. Also by Naguib Mahfouz: He includes names as familiar as the pharaoh The Mirage Ramesses II and as obscure as the medieval vizier Khan al-Khalili Qaraqush. Defending their behavior before the divine tribunal, those who acted for the nation’s good are Cairo Modern honored with immortality, but those who failed to Karnak Café protect it leave the gilded hall of eternal justice with a very different verdict. Full of Mahfouz’s unique insight into his country’s timeless qualities, this controversial work skillfully traces five thousand years of Egypt’s past as it flows into the present, through the mind of its most acclaimed author.

Naguib Mahfouz (1911–2006), born in the crowded Cairo district of Gamaliya, wrote nearly forty novel-length works, plus hundreds of short stories and numerous screenplays. He was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1988. Raymond Stock is writing a biography of Naguib Mahfouz. He is the translator of numerous works by Mahfouz, most recently Dreams of Departure (AUC Press, 2007).
