About this product
Product Information
What happened to a former Miss Egypt when she took to wearing the veil under her pilot's cap? Who are the young people posting videos of policemen torturing crime suspects? Where do Coptic Christians celebrate the Holy Family's journey to Egypt? Why is President Hosni Mubarak still ruling Egypt, virtually uncontested, after more than 25 years in power? In Hold on to Your Veil, Fatima! , author Sanna Negus answers these questions and more, taking the reader on a journey into 21st-century Egypt. As a reporter, Ms Negus witnessed Egypt's political opening after the Iraq war, the subsequent quelling of the Cairo Spring, and the growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood. In addition to politics, the author discusses the thorny issue of relations between the sexes, listens to Copts' grievances about the worsening relations between Muslims and Christians, and reveals an appalling human rights record. On the brighter side, she also visits oriental dancers and authors who defy censorship. While Egyptians joke about the longevity of their president, there is no doubt that Egypt is a nation waiting for a new, uncertain dawn. Hold on to Your Veil, Fatima! relies heavily on primary sources, on the words and experiences of extraordinary Egyptian men and women, as well as the author's personal encounters as a Western woman. Intimate stories are woven together with historical narratives and news events. This is the other side of Egypt, an intriguing modern nation a long way removed from the pyramids and temples visited by most visitors to the country.

First class seller. Exactly as described with my purchase quickly dispatched with arrival just a couple of days later. My book was extremely well protected (with packaging that is easily recycled and used again), I may add. In the past, it's a big disappointment to receive a 'New' item from other sellers which has been somewhat thrown about in post but this certainly wasn't the case. You've set a high standard guys - fingers crossed it continues. Highly recommended seller. Many thanks.

Great seller!! The delivery was quick & packaged really well. The book is EXACTLY as described 'like new' including the back corner pages defects but they do not take away from the quality at all. So this is a very honest seller is too!! 😃 Which is why you MUST read the 'condition' BEFORE purchasing & leaving feedback!! I am VERY pleased with my book & cannot wait to dive into it!! I will happily purchase from this seller again & I also recommend this seller too!!😃 Thank you very much!!☺️
