Many workers in these mills were from peasant backgrounds. Fikri al-Khuli, one such peasant boy, went to work at Misr Spinning and Weaving in 1928 when he was eleven and remained until 1942. His autobiographical novel, al-Rihla (The Journey), the only first-hand account of life from the perspective of the mill floor by an Egyptian textile worker, vividly relates the harsh labor control measures and supervisors’ frequent abusive treatment of workers. Al-Khuli and his workmates understood their work experience in radically different terms than the Misr management and its political allies.
