It examines the changing roles of the academic historian, the university system, the state and non-academic scholarship and the tension between them in contesting the modern history of Egypt. In a detailed discussion of the literature, the study analyzes the political nature of competing interpretations and uses the examples of Copts and resident foreigners to demonstrate the dissonant challenges to the national discourse that testify to its limitations, deficiencies and silences. 410 0$aIslamic Studies Series 606 $aNationalism$zEgypt 606 $aHistoriography$zEgypt 607 $aEgypt$xHistoriography 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aHistoriography 676 $a962/.007/2 700 $aGorman$b Anthony$f1959-,$0853986 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462008103321 996 $aHistorians, state and politics in twentieth century Egypt$91906641 997 $aUNINA
