As a young woman in Cairo in the forties and fifties, Ahmed witnessed some of the major transformations of this century--the end of British colonialism, the rise of Arab nationalism, and the breakdown of Egypt's once multireligious society. As today's Egypt continues to undergo revolutionary change, Ahmed's inspirational story remains as poignant and relevant as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leila Ahmed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143121928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143121923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.76h x 5.09w x 0.64d","brand":"Leila Ahmed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946228547839,"sku":"9780143121923","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_96b4606c-1b96-4db3-9d52-6628d9faa99d.jpg?v=1681512124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-border-passage-leila-ahmed-9780143121923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
