Abstract After important intellectual contributions to the Arab Nahda, the Syro-Lebanese of Egypt (the Shawam) underwent a far-reaching process of French acculturation. This process culminated in their cultural alienation from mainstream Egyptian society, and became a major reason for their departure from Nasserite Egypt in the sixties. Unlike previous narratives dealing with the history of the Shawam in Egypt, which underscored static identitarian choices as the driving force behind their cultural alienation, my thesis situates their adoption of French language and culture in the wider context of the Egyptian francophonie. This relatively unknown francophonie thrived in pre- revolutionary Egypt and was fully embraced by Egypt’s urban cosmopolitan society. Despite the British occupation, French was the language of culture, finance, the press, justice and administration until the regime change. Using a more context-based approach, this thesis explores details of daily practices and experiences to discern the conditions in which the Shawam made their choices. I turn to their educational policies and appropriation of Egypt’s prestigious French schools to assess the role played by these schools in their deep French acculturation. I also examine the vibrant francophone literary circles and salons, which flourished in Cairo during the interwar period, where they were particularly visible. Shawam intellectuals had not disappeared from Egyptian intellectual life, but had limited their activity to the much smaller, and much more powerful, francophone one. I contend that their cultural alienation was not the result of an innate separateness between Egyptians and them, but was contingent on historical factors, pertaining both to the community and its land of adoption. ii Résumé Après leur collaboration précieuse au projet de la Nahda arabe, les Syro-Libanais d’Egypte (les chawâms) se sont tournés de plus en plus vers la langue et la culture françaises. Cette adoption démesurée de la langue française au détriment de la langue arabe a engendré leur éloignement culturel de la grande majorité de la société égyptienne. Elle devient même une raison principale de leur exode de l’Egypte dans les années 1960. Si la plupart des récits historiques ayant abordé le sujet des chawâms d’Egypte trouvent dans l’identité de ceux-ci (différents de par leur origine et leur religion) l’explication ultime de ce phénomène, je constate que cette hypothèse demande d’être nuancée. Je propose de mettre leur aliénation dans le plus grand cadre de la francophonie égyptienne, mal connue même aujourd’hui. Pendant un siècle et demi et malgré l’occupation britannique, le français demeurait la langue de la culture, les finances, la presse, la justice et l’administration, jusque’ au changement de régime et la crise de Suez. Pour ce faire, j’étudie en grand détail les expériences et les pratiques de tous les jours pour mieux discerner les circonstances dans lesquelles les chawâms ont fait leurs choix culturels. J’examine leurs politiques de scolarisation et leur appropriation des écoles françaises prestigieuses ayant joué un rôle principal dans cette acculturation. De surcroit, ce mémoire analyse de très près les cercles et les salons littéraires francophones du Caire durant l’entre-deux-guerres, où les chawâms étaient actifs et pleinement visibles. Loin d’avoir disparu de la vie intellectuelle égyptienne, ils avaient approprié la scène francophone, plus restreinte mais très puissante. Je soutiens que plusieurs agents historiques, liés à la fois à l’Egypte et aux chawâms, ont contribué à cette aliénation culturelle. iii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank everyone at the Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University for their support and encouragement. The librarians and administrative staff, especially Ms. Adina Sigartau and Ms. Karen Moore, have been very patient and helpful with my endless questions and requests, always with a smile. My peers are largely responsible for an enriching collegial environment at the Institute, with all their thoughts, ideas and our many discussions. Professors Michelle Hartman and Setrag Manoukian from Islamic Studies and Professor Nancy Partner from the History Department know how much I appreciate their sincere interest in my academic progress and the pleasure I took in being their student. I am very grateful to the Institute for the Graduate Fellowship Award, and to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for the generous CGS Master’s scholarship. It is very hard to find the right words with which to thank Professor Laila Parsons. She has been the ideal supervisor, and it has been a great privilege working with her. Truly dedicated to her students, she is incredibly generous with her immense knowledge, time and feedback. Her crucial questions have made me think and rethink many of my ideas, while her meticulous comments and remarks have continuously pushed me for more clarity and precision. Without her guidance and patience I do not see how I could have come this far. The kindness of many people made my trip to the archives in Cairo extremely rewarding and enjoyable. From the Collège de la Sainte Famille I would like to thank Père Henri Boulad for his interest, recommendations, and for sharing some of his personal recollections with me. The librarian, Père Jacques Masson, has suggested many sources that proved pertinent to my research. From the Dominican Institute of Oriental Studies, I am very grateful to Père Emilio Platti for his time and the books he offered me, and many thanks go to Professor Dalal Adib for all her support, discussions and recommendations. The staff at both institutions was very kind and helpful. Ms. Elodie Gaden has been very generous sharing her experience as a researcher in Cairo. The McGill University Arts Graduate Student Travel Award helped make this trip possible. iv I would also like to express my gratitude to friends and relatives who have been there for me. In particular I would like to thank Kevin Jones for his unfailing support and encouragement throughout months of research and writing. He has read everything and helped me improve it in many ways. His intellectual stimulus, feedback, assistance with some translations from French and unmatchable sense of humor have been invaluable. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the unconditional love of my family. My sisters Sarah and Hend have been wonderfully supportive. Their faith, thoughtfulness and humor have been a great source of motivation. As for my mother, Naglaa, she knows nothing I say here can describe how deeply she inspires me. Her gracefulness, her values and her parenting continue to influence my thinking, worldview, approach and work habits. Her love and encouragement have made it all happen. Finally, I owe my interest in the history of the Shawam in Egypt to the remarkable story and rich world of my late grandmother, Saada. She has all my love and respect. v Table of Contents Introduction …………………………………….………………………………. 1 Chapter 1 The Shawam in Egypt: A Historical Oversight…………………… 19 De-Arabization……………………………………………………. 20 The Shawam in Egypt: A Narrative of Failed Integration………... 24 Reinstating Egypt’s Francophone Cosmopolitan Society in the Narrative of Failed

Leur histoire donne aussi lieu, depuis quelques années, à des recherches nouvelles, attentives à l’inscription de ces « communautés chrétiennes » dans leurs contextes. La sortie de l’ère postcoloniale et les crises des États-nations au Proche- Orient ont conféré une légitimité inédite à une approche des sociétés sous l’angle de leurs minorités, partant d’une nouvelle compréhension des notions de « frontières », confessionnelles ou ethniques, et des interactions entre « majorité » et « minorités ». Les contributions du présent dossier portent sur l’Égypte, la Syrie, la Jordanie et la Turquie. Ces études envisagent les chrétiens non pas comme des minoritaires victimes des aléas politiques, mais comme des acteurs participant à la vie politique, intellectuelle et culturelle de leurs sociétés. Elles éclairent les fonctionnements internes des communautés chrétiennes et de leurs institutions qui, loin de s’être fossilisées dans des traditions immuables, aménagent constamment leur rapport à l’histoire et aux langues constitutives de leur identité.

In mid-August, three days after the military crackdown on Morsi supporters, Egypt’s Catholic Church published a list of 58 destroyed or damaged Christian churches, as well as a commentary by the country’s leading Jesuit criticizing the West’s characterization of “poor persecuted Muslims.” On Aug. 18, after five days of “terrorist attacks, killings and the burning of churches, schools and state institutions,” Coptic Catholic Patriarch Ibrahim Isaac Sedrak, president of the Council of Catholic Patriarchs and Bishops in Egypt, thanked “our honorable Muslim compatriots who have stood by our side, as far as they could, in defending our churches and our institutions.” The Associated Press reported on Aug. 19 that nearly 1,000 people had been killed in violence between security forces and Morsi supporters. The violence began on Aug. 14, Hoping to build a faith community and a social connection among their peers, young adult members at St. Michael Parish in Greenfield got together when security forces raided camps of Morsi twice a month this summer to pray the rosary in front of a shrine of the Blessed Mother near the parish church.

A full programme, oganized expertly by Henri Boulad (PRO), kept the 30 particpants (from all six continents) busy throughout the working days and evenings, and on the Sunday the group was able to visit the Coptic Orthodox Monastery of St. Makarios. A message from Fr. General underlined the importance of the ecumenical venture among the Society's priorities, and a select number of the participants had been involved with the group since its inception. The agenda ranged widely, focussing in part on ecumenical issues in the complex ecclesial reality of the Middle East, but also on recent developments in the wider ecumenical sphere. We had the opportunity to meet with clergy and laypeople from the Coptic Orthodox and Coptic Evanglical churches, as well as with Muslims. Jacques Masson (PRO) and Christian van Nispen (PRO), with their long years of experience and study of the Church in Egypt introduced us to various of its aspects. Jacques Masson surveyed some of the ecumenical history of the oriental Churches and agreements reached especially among the Chalcedonian and non- Chalcedonian churches in recent years. Victor Chelhot (PRO) from Damascus presented developments in the local attempts to remove the obstacles to unity between the Greek Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches of Antioch.

His Kitāb al-Burhān, one of his only two surviving works, will therefore be thoroughly studied from two perspectives: the Islamic perspective as it is found in contemporary anti-Christian polemical texts; and the Christian perspective, through a comparison of ‘Ammār’s treatise with the works of Arab Christian theologians of his day. The present study aims at demonstrating the level of translatability of Christian theology into the Islamic intellectual milieu, as ‘Ammār al-Baṣrī saw it.
