      abstract = {"Famous until the 1950s for its religious pluralism and  extraordinary cultural heritage, Egypt is now seen as an  increasingly repressive and divided land, home of the  Muslim Brotherhood and an opaque regime headed by the aging  President Mubarak. ... Tarek Osman explores what has  happened to the biggest Arab nation since President Nasser  took control of the countryin 1954. He examines Egypt's  central role in the development of the two crucial  movements of the period, Arab nationalism and radical  Islam; the increasingly contentious relationship between  Muslims and Christians; and perhaps most important of all,  the rift between the cosmopolitan elite and the mass of the  undereducated and underemployed population, more than half  of whom are aged under thirty."--Back cover.},
