The absolution of words "about the empire and the temptation of translation in Egypt"

Product description

In this book that challenges the traditional methods of understanding the mechanisms of cultural imperialism, the author explores the complex relationship between translation and seduction in an colonial context, as the book focuses on the French campaign on Egypt and the British occupation of Egypt, in an attempt to explore their effects on Egyptian Arab-Islamic identity. The author sees that the encounter of Egyptians with European Orientalism would not have borne fruit if the Orientalists with colonial objectives had not always deceived Egyptians into believing that they were "equals" to their colonizers, but masters of these colonizers, which led the Egyptians in a strange paradox to translate themselves willingly so that they approach the colonizer, embody him, and abandon their identities to adopt his identity for themselves.
