On the Semicivilized: Coloniality, Finance, and Embodied Sovereignty in Cairo
Julia Elyachar
Drawing on thirty years of ethnographic research in Cairo, family archives from Palestine and Egypt, and research on Ottoman debt and finance to rethink catastrophe and potentiality in Cairo and the world today, Elyachar offers a sweeping analysis of coloniality that shaped—and blocked—sovereign futures for those dubbed barbarian and semicivilized in the former Ottoman Empire.
