Ahmad Shokr tells a story of decolonization through the lens of cotton, Egypt's prized export. He follows a range of actors-colonial advisors, nationalist leaders, agrarian reformers, merchant-financiers, landowners, and rural workers-whose interactions moved the levers of the cotton trade from institutions that facilitated accumulation on an imperial scale to new sites of control within the nation-state. Amidst depression and war, the transformation of Egypt's cotton economy prompted nationalists to embrace policies of land reform and industrialization and adopt a new conception of history. Ultimately, Shokr argues, these efforts set the stage for the construction of a postcolonial republic under Gamal Abdel Nasser, where national liberation became equated with national development.
