"""Donald Reid is one of the most prolific scholars in the field of modern Egyptian history. His books are consistent in a number of ways: his research is extensive, and for Contesting Antiquity in Egypt, even broader than usual; his works avoid jargon; he collects amazing details on a wide range of people and he makes certain that the reader knows who they are and when they lived; and, finally and most important of all, he puts Egyptians at the heart of his research and writing. Reid's scholarship successfully fills in a major lacuna in the study of modern Egyptian history--the role of Egyptians in archaeology and the museum world, limited as it may have been at times because of European and American efforts to limit their success.""--Jere L. Bacharach, University of Washington"
