A Border Passage
by Ahmed, Leila
As a young woman in Cairo in the 1940s and '50s, Ahmed witnessed some of the major transformations of this centurythe end of British colonialism, the creation of Israel, the rise of Arab nationalism, and the breakdown of Egypt's once multireligious society. Amid the turmoil, she searched to define herselfand to see how the world defined heras a woman, a Muslim, an Egyptian, and an Arab. In this memoir, she poignantly reflects upon issues of language, race, and nationality, while unveiling the hidden world of women's Islam. Ahmed's story wil be an inspiration to anyone who has ever struggled to define their own cultural identity.
