The Divas of Cairo's Roaring 20s | Raphael Cormack

Raphael Cormack discussed his new book Midnight in Cairo: The Divas of Egypt's Roaring 20's.
Midnight in Cairo tells the thrilling story of Egypt’s interwar nightlife and entertainment industry through the lives of its pioneering women. Introducing an eccentric cast of characters, it brings to life a world of revolutionary ideas and provocative art – one which laid the foundations of Arab popular culture today. It is a story of modern Cairo as we have never heard it before.
