Liberalism without Democracy – Nationhood and Citizenship in Egypt, 1922–1936: Politics, History, and Culture

Autor Abdeslam M. Maghraoui
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2006
Drawing on the thought of Lacan, Fanon, Said, and Bhabha, as well as contemporary political theory, this book points to liberalism's inherent contradiction: its simultaneous commitments to individual liberty and colonial conquest. It demonstrates the under appreciated - role of language and culture in defining citizenship and political community.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Abdeslam Maghraoui's book is among the more cogent recent explanations of the reasons liberalism failed in the Middle East. Through its examination of the role of language and culture in Egypt, "Liberalism without Democracy" sheds light on a central weakness of liberalism--its commitment to individual liberty and colonial conquest."--Edmund Burke III, coeditor of "After the Colonial Turn: Orientalism, History, and Theory"
