Singing the Nation. An examination of Belonging, Gender and Modernity in Nasser's Egypt through the work of Umm Kulthum: Continuously an important and popular persona in contemporary Egypt, Umm Kulthum has shown to be an extremely powerful and influential figure. In this thesis, I show that Kulthum participated in the construction of politics of belonging in Egypt through her multifaceted political support for Nasser, through her art and public persona/symbolic role. The analyses of narratives reveal how cultural productions such as music reflected public discourses in Nasser’s Egypt and how they at the same time were part of shaping national hegemonic narratives.
