In 2019, the American University in Cairo (AUC) celebrates its
centenary. Founded on Tahrir Square, the university has been at the
center of the intellectual, social, and cultural life of Cairo and
Egypt for the last one hundred years, and is hailed as one of the
leading academic institutions in the Middle East. AUC's alumni have
included diplomats, business leaders, statesmen and stateswomen,
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, media personalities,
filmmakers, revolutionaries, and even a queen. In that time, the
university has experienced wars, revolutions, attempted
nationalization, bombings, and, in recent times, a wholesale move
to a new purpose-built campus in the desert. Utilizing a rich array
of photographs, documents, and objects, this book presents one
hundred short stories about the life and legacy of this unique and
remarkable institution.
