Telling a new story of modern Egypt, Mohammad Salama uses textual
and cinematic sources to construct a clear and accessible narrative
of the dynamics of Islam and culture in the first half of the
twentieth century. The conflict between tradition and secular
values in modern Egypt is shown in a stimulating and challenging
new light as Salama bridges analysis of nationalism and its
connection to Islamism, and outlines the effects of secular
education versus traditional Islamic teaching on varied elements of
Egyptian society. These include cultural production, politics,
economic, identity, and gender relations. All of this helps to
discern the harbingers that led to Egypt's social transition from
the monarchy to the republic and opens the possibility of Islam as
an inspiring and inspirational force. This illuminating,
provocative and informative study will be of use to anyone
interested in the period, whether general readers, students, or
researchers.
