More DescriptionThe emergence of nationalism in the l930s and l940s served to redefine Egyptian identity. The authors demonstrate how the growth of an urban middle class, combined with economic and political failures in the l930s, eroded the earlier territorial and isolationist order.

Egypt's present position as a major player in Arab and Muslim affairs has its roots in the events of this period.
