This is my second article on Ahmad Sadiq Sa'd (1919-88), an Egyptian Marxist historian who wrote noteworthy books and articles concerning issues of the Asiatic mode of production, the Egyptian social formation, and the popular thought heritage (al-turath al-sha'bi). In my previous article, "Ahmad Sadiq Sa'd-A Jewish Egyptian Marxist, " The Hitotsubashi Review, (116-4,Oct. 1996,in Japanese), I tried to draw a sketch of his personal history, focusing his activities in the Egyptian communist movement in 1940s. In this article, I attempted to introduce his research works on the Egyptian popular thought heritage and to describe how he recognized the importance of this theme through his association with the labour movement. Taha Sa'd 'Uthman, a Sa'd's friend and strong-willed leader of an independent labour movement, wrote a memoir article, "Ahmad Sadiq Sa'd and the Egyptian Leftist Movement." This memoir shows Sa'd's strong interest in the popular culture and the social customs of the working class people and his attempt to analyze them. But his political activities and research works were abruptly interrupted by the oppression of the Nasser regime in the late 1950s. 20 years later Sa'd resumed his study on this same subject. Especially he started to study the popular traditon of 'spontaneous mass movement' in the Egyptian history. He criticized both of two schools of contemporary Egyptian historical writing, the liberal school and the Marxist school, on the ground that both ignored the spontaneity of the mass movement. He also pointed out shortcomings of the works by Tariq al-Bishri who perceived and recognized the popular heritage in the spontaneous mass movement in the Egyptian history. Al-Bishri proposed a theoretical model of al-mawruth (the inherited) and al-wafid (the arriving), but it disturbs us from understanding the complex structure of the popular heritage and its dynamic character. Sa'd argues that the pupular heritage absorbed some arriving foreign thoughts in the long history of Egypt. Sa'd was abre to find the Egyptian popular heritage in its unique form probably because, I suppose, he himself was an arriving Jewish intellectual who made an effort to Egyptianize himself culturally and to identify himself with the Egyptian popular class.
