Contents:

End of an era (1937-52) -- Egypt at the forefront (1952-60) -- Part II. Change and adjustment (1937-60) -- The labor market -- Education -- Part III. Leaving Egypt before 1960 -- Mobility, migration, and repatriation -- Decongestion -- Part IV. The exodus -- A fulfilled prophecy?

Scope and content: "From the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth, Greeks comprised one of the largest and most influential minority groups in Egyptian society, yet barely two thousand remain there today. This painstakingly researched book explains how Egypt's once-robust Greek population dwindled to virtually nothing, beginning with the abolition of foreigners' privileges in 1937 and culminating in the nationalist revolution of 1952. It reconstructs the delicate sociopolitical circumstances that Greeks had to navigate during this period, providing a multifaceted account of demographic decline that arose from both large structural factors as well as the decisions of countless individuals"--Provided by publisher.
