Errata

Connected In Cairo – Errata

In preparation for the new AUC Press edition and the reprinting of the IUP edition, I have (with help from both presses) compiled a list or typos and other errors that slipped into the text.

Pg. ix, 1^st par.      Irhab wal-Kabab should be al-Irhab wal-Kabab
Pg. ix, 1^st par.      The date of Egyptian Revolution is given as 1958. It should be 1952.

Pg. ix, 4^th par.      The date of the Bread Riots is given as 1981. It should be 1977. (It is given correctly in Chapter Six)

Pg. 30, 1^st par.      Akbar al Yom  should be Akhbar al Yom [and in index, p. 253]

Pg. 30, 1^st par.      Der Zeitung should be Die Zeit [and in index, p. 255]

Pg. 68, 1^st par.    mudaris tagribiya  should be madaris tagribiya

Pg. 100, 2^nd par.   Hamam fil Amsterdam should be Hamam fi Amsterdam [and in index, p. 257]

Pg. 105, 3^rd par.   Al walad da akhla’a  should be Al walad da akhla’ [and in index, p. 253]

Pg.107, 3^rd par.    wilad al-baladi should be wilad al-balad [and in index, p. 263]

Pg. 147, 1^st par.    khalawati  should be khawalati [and in index, p. 258]

Pg. 157, 3^rd par.   The date of the founding of Café Riche is given as 1914, which is taken from the source I cite (Bieber-Roberts, Peggy and Elisa Pierandrei 2002). However, several other sources give the date as 1908, and this is the date the current owners of Café Riche themselves claim. In fact, it’s etched on the glass of their front door.

Pg. 161, 3^rd par.   LePoire  should be La Poire [and in index, p. 261]

and last, but certainly not least,

Pg. 176, 4^th par.   The dates of the Mubarak regime should be updated from “1981-present” to “1981-2011”!
