The Egyptian dream : Egyptian national identity and uprisings / Egyptian national identity and uprisings Noha Mellor. - 1 online resource (vii, 190 pages)
Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-187) and index.
Mother Egypt : the gift of the Nile -- Ibn al-balad : the true son of Egypt -- Misri Effendi : the squeezed middle class -- The 'As if' state -- Tools of mass persuasion -- Language of division or unity? -- The intellectual's identity crisis -- When Egyptians revolt.
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.--
Noha Mellor is Professor of Media at Bedfordshire University. 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).
