[Endorsement to come] Explores the struggle to define Egyptian national identity post-independence The story of Egyptian identity from the beginning of the twentieth century is one constructed by statesmen, intellectuals and Islamic thinkers. This book argues that the current fragmentation of Egypt's political scene reflects the increasing social division in a country where 'the people' are demanding a redefinition of their national identity. Scrutinising the society behind the uprisings that began in 2011 and their diverse economic, ideological and sectorial demands, it also looks at the desperate state's attempt to construct a unified Egyptian identity - an attempt which has resulted in further splitting Egyptian society. Key Features - Considers the social context that caused and continues to stir the conflict in Egypt - Offers a fresh perspective on Egyptian society and its multiple layers - Focuses on the role of language and education in enforcing the status quo - Includes case studies illustrating the development of nationalist discourse in Egypt Noha Mellor is Professor of Media at the University of Bedfordshire. She is the author of The Making of Arab News (2005), Modern Arab Journalism (Edinburgh University Press, 2007), Arab Journalists in Transnational Media (2011) and Arab Media (2011).
