Official Stories - Politics and National Narratives in Egypt and Algeria

Zusatztext "Brand has produced a thorough, well-contextualized study with far richer detail than can be conveyed in a brief review. It is this detail and the clarity with which Brand presents it that is so valuable. Scholars with in-depth knowledge of both countries will learn new nuances, and students and casual readers will gain a clear overview, of how these regimes have portrayed themselves and sought to define what it means to be Algerian or Egyptian."
