[align=left] he Power of Representation: Publics, Peasants, and Islam in Egypt
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 0804758883 | edition 2008 | PDF | 312 pages | 1,5 mb
The Power of Representation traces the emergence of modern Egyptian national identity from the mid-1870s through the 1910s. During this period, a new class of Egyptian urban intellectuals—teachers, lawyers, engineers, clerks, accountants, and journalists—came into prominence. Adapting modern ideas of individual moral autonomy and universal citizenship, this group reconfigured religiously informed notions of the self and created a national sense of "Egyptian-ness" drawn from ideas about Egypt's large peasant population.
