Press YR 1989 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1636745512 AB This article focuses on the polemic between Louis 'Awad and Muhammad 'Imara as a case study that assembles the various ideological components of the current debate in Egypt over collective identity and the role of politics and culture on tomorrow's society. The controversy arose in the mid-1980s over the portrayal of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani by the renowned literary critic Louis 'Awad.
