This book refines the history of globalisation by considering the variety of mobile people passing through and near to the Suez Canal from its opening in 1869 to the First World War. It reveals how the global shortcut was perceived, staged and controlled and, more broadly, how mobility was channelled.
Introduction: mobility and its limits; Part I. Imperial Relay Station: Global Space, New Thresholds, 1870s-90s: 1. Rites de passage and perceptions of global space; 2. Regimes of passage: troops in the canal zone; 3. Companies and workers; Part II. Frontier of the Civilising Mission: Mobility Regulation East of Suez, 1880s-1900s: 4. Bedouin and caravans; 5. Dhows and slave trading in the Red Sea; 6. Mecca pilgrims under imperial surveillance; Part III. Checkpoint: Tracking Microbes and Tracing Travellers, 1890s-1914: 7. Contagious mobility and the filtering of disease; 8. Rights of passage and the identification of individuals; Conclusion: rites de passage and rights of passage in the Suez Canal region and beyond; Bibliography.
