The power of representation : publics, peasants, and Islam in Egypt /

This text traces the emergence of modern Egyptian national identity from the mid-1870s through the 1910s. It calls into question the notion that in the 19th century 'secular' aptitudes and areas of competency were somehow separate from 'religious' ones.
