Booknews
Moore-Harell (Islam and the Middle East, Hebrew University, Jerusalem) examines the period preceding the Mahdist revolution in the Sudan, a period dominated by governor-general of the Sudan, Charles George Gordon, the only Christian European to fill this position during the Turkiyya period (1821-85). She analyzes Gordon's administration and the political, economic, and social developments under his leadership against the background of political unrest in Egypt and the weakening of the Khedive Ismail's position in the face of increasing European financial imperialism.
