Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema

Abstract

Writing a book is not an act but a process, and it involves not one person but many people. I am very grateful for all the support and encouragement I have received from colleagues, friends, and family over the course of researching and writing this book. I am especially grateful to those who closely read and provided comments on the entire manuscript: Walter Armbrust, Orit Bashkin, Joel Gordon, Elliot Shapiro, and an anonymous reader. Your insights have enriched this book. I would also like to thank the many people who helped me by reading drafts, discussing ideas, parsing words, and assisting my research in a variety of ways.
