Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This volume by a Catholic priest of Syrian birth is
primarily a study of the ethos and psychology of the Egyptian peasant. In addition to the
penetrating analysis and insight into Fellahin mentality there is also much detailed
information on agriculture, diet, social groupings, ingroup antagonisms, home life and the
Fellahin as an individual. The final sections deal with social conditions and poverty among
the Fellahin and the efforts which have been made by both the Egyptian government and
private individuals to alleviate these conditions and improve the socio-economic status of
the Fellahin. Although it is a general book on the Fellahin the information seems to have
been gathered mostly from Lower and Middle Egypt and to lesser extent from Upper
Egypt.
