Without their assistance, this book would have been an entirely different and inferior product. Their names are listed in the Bibliography. Many Egyptian Jews as well as other friends and colleagues saved clippings from the Israeli and Egyptian press for me, allowed me to copy personal papers, or gave me books, magazines, and other materials that were invaluable sources for this book. Among them were Raymond Aghion, Ada Aharoni, Shlomo Barad, Esther and Gilbert Bar-On, Henriette Busnach, Yusuf Darwish, Marcelle Fisher, Karim al-Gawhary, Yitzhaq Gormezano-Goren, David Harel, Anda Harel-Dagan, Jacques Hassoun, Reuven Kaminer, Mourad El-Kodsi, Yoram Meital, Doris and Henry Mourad, Remy and Joe Pessah, Sami Shemtov, Ted Swedenburg, and Robert Vitalis. -

Middle East Studies
Middle East Studies New & Forthcoming Books Fall 2017 Letter from the Director It gives me great pleasure to present our new and forthcoming scholarly and general titles in Middle East Studies. Bringing rich ethnographic and field-based research to the AUC Press list are Gender Justice and Legal Reform in Egypt, which examines the interplay between legal reform and gender norms and practices in Egypt, and Gypsies in Contemporary Egypt, a study of Gypsies in modern-day Cairo and Alexandria. Economist Khalid Ikram’s A Political Economy of Reforms in Egypt (forthcoming) provides a fascinating and richly informed analysis of Egypt’s economic development since 1952. Ethiopia: The Living Churches of an Ancient Kingdom, by Mary Anne Fitzgerald with Philip Marsden, contains stunning color photographs of some of the world’s most extraordinary churches, including many never before seen in print. In his beautifully illustrated Orientalist Lives (forthcoming), James Parry asks what brought painters and photographers in the nineteenth century to Arab lands and looks at how they traveled, lived, worked, and fared. And in our History and Biography section, Marcus Simaika, by Samir Simaika and Nevine Henein, recounts the life and times of the extraordinary founder of the Coptic Museum, while lives in exile and dramatic histories are movingly narrated in Neslishah: The Last Ottoman Princess and Farewell Shiraz. Dr. Nigel Fletcher-Jones For Authors We welcome proposals for scholarly monographs and general books concerning the Middle East and North African regions on a broad variety of topics including, but not limited to, Egyptology, eastern Mediterranean archaeology, art history, medieval and modern history, ethnography, environmental studies, migration, urban studies, gender, art and architectural history, religion, Middle-Eastern politics, political economy, and Arabic language learning. -

MES Goes MAD for MADE
Two at MES Cairo has been a very positive and exciting one for all of us. It started with Term the school receiving an outstanding report from both the BSME (British Schools of the Middle East) and the BSO (British Schools Overseas) accreditation bodies. In order for international schools to be registered by the UK Department for Education, they must go through a tri-annual inspection process which proves that the quality of the education provided is ‘satisfactory’ or above. The report emphatically states: ‘MES Cairo is an outstanding school. It provides education that is well above the standards required for BSME accreditation.’ Out of the nineteen schools worldwide that have been accredited, MES Cairo is one of only three schools in the Middle East to be given the status of ‘outstanding’. I am extremely proud of this wonderful achievement and would like to thank all of the dedicated MES Cairo staff for working so hard to take forward the vision of the founders and to make our school the great educational establishment that it is. The British accreditation process is very detailed and constructive and leaves no stone unturned! As well as visiting classrooms, holding discussions with staff and closely inspecting all of the school’s official documentation, the accreditors investigate all aspects of school life. They examine our results, look at evidence of achievement and interview parents and students in order to gain a broad view of the school’s operation as a whole. We are a learning organisation and this means that we will not now sit back and rest on the basis of the outstanding BSME/BSO report. -
2063 Lance Corporal William Dalton Lycett
The ‘Great War’ Diaries of 2063 Lance Corporal William Dalton Lycett 4th Field Ambulance, AIF 15th Aust. Light Railway Operating Co. 1914 – 1919 About the writer: William Dalton Lycett was born in Middlesborough in the County of Durham on 28th November, 1890, the eldest son of Harry (b. 7.3.1869) and his wife, Mary Hannah Dalton (b. 8.12.1872). By 1908 the family had grown to six boys - Will, Harold, Harry, Fred, Cliff and Frank and the youngest child, Dorothy. The family moved frequently in the Middlesborough-Hartlepool area and eventually returned to Crewe in Cheshire where Harry's family lived. Here Will and his father worked in the Railway Workshops where Will served his apprenticeship as a boilermaker. As the diaries testify he also had a wide circle of friends here and took an active part in Church and musical activities. In 1910 the family migrated to Melbourne and for some time Will was very lonely until he became a member of the Burns Club. Here he played soccer and became a member of the Victorian Soccer Team, and here also he met his Daisy (Daisy Gertrude Hill, b. 24.1.1891). When war broke out he enlisted, on 12th September 1914, and was sent to Broadmeadows Army Camp. His diaries tell the story of his war, and inadvertently, much of himself. What they do not tell is the story of the women at home, his Mam who at one time had her husband and four sons in France and knew the grief of losing a son, and Daisy, whose fiance and two brothers were there. -

Nathan Lambert Fonder. All rights reserved. Dissertation Advisor: Professor. E. Roger Owen Nathan Lambert Fonder Pleasure, Leisure, or Vice? Public Morality in Imperial Cairo, 1882-1949 Abstract I investigate the social history of Egypt under British imperial occupation through the lens of morality in order to understand the contestation of cultural change and authority under empire. Points of cultural cleavage between European and local inhabitants in British-occupied Cairo included two customs, gambling and the consumption of intoxicants, which elicited sustained and dynamic reactions from observers of Egyptian society on the local and international level. I show that the presence of alcohol and gambling in public spaces in Cairo contributed directly to the politicization and selective criminalization of public morality.
