In both cases, successful colonization depended on a local ruling class who directed the process and provided a semblance of native legitimacy, who at the same time were true believers in the supremacy of Western science and technology.
By the time of the `Urabi nationalist revolt in 1881, even local resistance to the colonial order had come to be expressed within the framework of Western terms.
One of the demands of the revolt was to provide schooling—British and French style—for all members of Egyptian society, not just the technocrats who were running the country and policing foreign investments.

Labeled a traitor in Parliament for his association with 'Urabi, Blunt was further discredited...
Regardless, most who write on the subject of the 'Urabi Revolt quote Blunt and rely on him for insights and material otherwise unavailable.

These contributed to the revolts against the Persian occupation but also to the recurrent internal crises of the Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth, and Thirtieth dynasties.
Periodic Egyptian revolts, usually aided by Greek military forces, were unsuccessful until 404 B.C., when Egypt regained an uneasy independence under the short-lived, native Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth, and Thirtieth dynasties.
Independence was lost again in 343 B.C., and Persian rule was oppressively reinstated and continued until 335 B.C., in what is sometimes called the Thirty-first Dynasty or second Persian occupation of Egypt.

Simultaneously, Powell argues, a sociolinguistic renaissance in literature occurred as represented by the works of Yacub Sanua and Abdullah al-Nadim, who were truculent in their criticism of Ismail's and Tawfiq's policies, yet seemed to accept the rulers' view of Egypt's relationship with and connection to the Sudan.
Powell then juxtaposes contemporary analyses of the (unsuccessful) Urabi revolt and the (initially successful) uprising of the Mahdiya in the Sudan.

Hunter provides a systematic analysis of the rapid spread of the revolt from its initial flash point in Gaza to encompass all of the occupied territories, the broad strata of Palestinian society, elite and non-elite groups, urban an(i vi&ge communities, men, women, youths, and children.
The Intifada Wrought immense changes in Palestinians way of life, and Hunter addresses its nature as a youth revolt; its role in effecting structural changes in Palestinian economy and society; and the manner in which it sparked the emergence of a new assertive and dynamic Palestinian self-image.
It would have been far more relevant, for example, to try to examine the Intifada within the context of similar national uprising in Egypt such as the Urabi revolt, the 1919 Revolution, or the student riots of 1935-1936.

There are of course exceptions to the rule, such as Juan Cole's path-breaking study of the Urabi revolt and a number of writings that offer a reassessment of the events surrounding the 1952 revolution.
Debates still rage over what Muhammad Ali, or Ahmad Urabi, or Saad Zaghlul had in mind, and whether actors on all sides had a coherent program or were instead carried along by changing circumstances.
Perhaps the bicentennial of the 1804-05 revolution will mark the moment when such studies are complemented, if not superseded, by more sophisticated analyses.
