商品簡介
A new look at the history of the Egyptian capital and its representation at the turn of the 20th century is provided by scholars in urban history, architectural history, social history, cultural geography, and preservation. A major theme is the tension between the European conviction that Egypt's important history is Pharaonic and Hellenistic, and Egyptians' conviction that its history is primarily Coptic and Islamic.
