Narrating the Nile

by I. Gershoni

"The authors of Narrating the Nile seek to encourage the study of Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia not only as autonomous entities, but also as part of the Nile region, a shared theater of experiences, national identities, and collective memories. Combining in-depth historical studies and broad interdisciplinary discussions, they provide fresh perspectives on the region's politics and cultures - and on the role the river has played in shaping them - from early modern history to contemporary times."--Jacket.
