Egypt from Independence to Revolution, 1919-1952 - (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East) by Selma Botman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This text offers an interpretation of Egypt's so-called liberal era and an understanding of contemporary Egyptian society. It analyses both mainstream and conventional political and social forces and political activism among people from widely differing backgrounds.

From the Back Cover

Between the revolution in 1919 and the coup d'etat in 1952, Egypt enjoyed a diversity of political experience that has not been sufficiently appreciated. In this broad-ranging survey, Botman analyzes mainstream political and social forces and the political activism among people in such groups as Young Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Communist movement.
