Nile by Haggai Erlich & Israel Gershoni
Histories, Conflicts, Myths
Mutually dependent on the River Nile, Egyptians, Ethiopians and Sudanese have often been enemies, and over the centuries their relations have been based on myths and distorted images. This volume represents an attempt to trace these complex relations from early medieval times to the present.Contributors, consisting of historians and other scholars from Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Europe, Israel, Sudan, and the US, trace the complex intercultural relations that have revolved around the Nile River throughout recorded history. The volume's 20 articles focus on four themes: peoples and identities in medieval times; the Nile as seen from a distance (such as from Europe and as a gateway for missionary activity); mid-century perspectives; and contemporary views including the Aswan High Dam and revolutionary symbolism in Egypt. |
