Umm Kulthum: Artistic Agency and the Shaping of an Arab Legend, 1967–2007

what an amazing book on a great star of the Arab World. Researched in such detail and quest for accuracy that beats many scientific subject searches. The author's love for the artist, Umm Kulthoum, is obvious. what a commitment to take such a narrow topic of the impact of Umm Kulthoum on post-1967 war Egypt. thank you Laura for this great gift.
