Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Barbara, 2009.

Historians agree that "childhood" is not an unchanging, natural phenomenon but is a social and cultural construct. This has been a much-debated topic in the history of Europe, particularly in France where scholars such as Philippe Aries, founder of the field the history of childhood, have made strong arguments as to how to conceptualize historical changes in childhood in the West. While it is clear that the concept of childhood has changed over time, no historian has researched how it has changed in Egypt, or the Middle East more generally speaking.

520 $a Historians agree that "childhood" is not an unchanging, natural phenomenon but is a social and cultural construct. This has been a much-debated topic in the history of Europe, particularly in France where scholars such as Philippe Aries, founder of the field the history of childhood, have made strong arguments as to how to conceptualize historical changes in childhood in the West. While it is clear that the concept of childhood has changed over time, no historian has researched how it has changed in Egypt, or the Middle East more generally speaking.
520 $a My dissertation explores how the concept of childhood changed in Egypt during the first half of the twentieth century. Some of the change was in response to and a part of the nationalist movement, the development of new social classes, and the expansion of state control over the family, as well as in reaction to a new sense of individual rights. Chapter one uses autobiographies of childhood by Egyptians who grew up during the first half of the twentieth-century to construct an ethnography of what it was like then to be an average Egyptian child. Chapter two uses intellectual discourse of the era to reveal that when reformers spoke of children as a means of change for the nation they were making claims for a change in the traditional concept of childhood. Chapter three shows that as the new concept of childhood developed in the first half of the twentieth-century, it required institutions to implement it, particularly children's literature. Chapter four takes a close look at the dimensions of the Egyptian child which reformers, nationalists, and institutions sought to "make modern" for the sake of the nation.
520 $a My dissertation's use of a previously silenced source of historical actors (children) in Egyptian history offers a new understanding of: the nation-building project in Egyptian history; the evolution of the concept of childhood in a global context; and debates on the implementation of children's rights today in the Middle East.
