Kenneth M. Cuno, American Historical Review While so much of the recent social and cultural history of Egypt has aimed at rewriting the literature from below, this bold effort to reconceive Egyptian history from the middle advances the field enormously. This book is certainly essential reading for those who would seek to understand modern Egyptbut there is much here for those working well beyond Egyptian frontiers as well, particularly as regards the uses to which modernity is put in post-colonial contexts.
