Full Description
The authors of ""The Nile Valley"" seek to encourage the study of Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia not only as autonomous entities, but also as part of the Nile region, a shared theater of experiences, national identities, and collective memories. Combining in-depth historical studies and broad interdisciplinary discussions, they provide fresh perspectives on the region's politics and cultures - and on the role the river has played in shaping them - from early modern history to contemporary times. The book is published in honor of Professor Haggai Erlich on the occasion of his retirement from Tel Aviv University. It offers fresh perspectives on the politics and cultures of the Nile Valley, and on the role the river has played in shaping them.
