About the book

"This social history recovers the voices and experiences of poor Egyptians - beggars, foundlings, the sick and maimed - giving them a history for the first time. As Mine Ener tells their stories alongside those of reformers, tourists, politicians, and philanthropists, she explores the economic, political, and colonial context that shaped poverty policy for a century and a half."--Jacket.
