In the early twentieth century Cairo was a vibrant and booming global
metropolis. The integration of Egypt into the global market had led to rapid
urban growth and increased migration. As occupational prospects for women
outside the family were limited, sex work became a prominent feature of the
new modern city. However, the economic and social changes in Egypt ignited
national anxieties about racial degeneration, social disorder and imperial
decadence. Here, Francesca Biancani shows how this was a period of national
crisis that became inscribed on the bodies of female sex workers.
Based on a wide range of rare primary sources, including documents from
court cases, reformist papers, police minutes and letters, Biancani examines the
discourses around sex workers and shows how prostitution was understood in
colonial Egypt. This book argues that from initially regulating and managing
prostitution, local and colonial elites began to depict sex workers as a threat to
the physical and moral welfare of the rising Egyptian nation. However, far from
being a marginal activity, prostitution is shown to have played a central role in
the history of Egyptian nation-making. By exploring the interdependence of
power and marginality, respectability and transgression, Biancani writes sex
work and its practitioners back into the history of modern Egypt.
FRANCESCA BIANCANI is Adjunct Professor of History and Institutions of the
Modern Middle East at the Department of Politics and Political Science, University of
Bologna. She is also Postdoctoral Fellow at the French Institute for Oriental Archaeology
in Cairo. She has been a Visiting Fellow at the Middle Eastern Studies Center at the
American University of Cairo and has contributed to various peer-reviewed edited books
and journals. She holds a PhD from the London School of Economics.
