Overview

In 1858, the Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez was founded to dig a canal linking the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. In 1956, the Egyptian State nationalized the company. Between the two dates, the corporation engineered a massive infrastructure network, built three new cities, and reclaimed farmland from the desert. The economic and social ecology of Egypt's eastern borderlands was radically transformed. The thirteen essays published in this book apply a variety of angles and sources of documentation to grasping the reality of the program successfully carried out in the isthmus. They all grant a central role to the matter of the Canal's integration into the Egyptian context.
