“Dr. Kyle Anderson: A Profile,” The Catalyst (SUNY Old Westbury Student Newspaper), November 27, 2023

“As an instructor, Anderson is prone to going on tangents about specific topics, but this is not meant as a bad thing. It comes from a clear and genuine passion for the topic and the history. His mind is an encyclopedia of names, dates, geography, nations, and historical and political theory. Easily excitable, but again, this is not a bad thing. After all, the best professors tend to be paid professional ramblers.”

“Egypt and the British Colonial Origins of the Military Regime,” Middle East Eye, March 28, 2023

“When Egypt was Black,” Africa is a Country, June 8, 2022

“Pharaonism, a mode of national identification linking people living in Egypt today with ancient pharaohs, emerged partly as an alternative to colonial British efforts to racialize Egyptians as people of color.”

“New Texts Out Now: The Egyptian Labor Corps: Race, Space, and Place in the First World War,” Jadaliyya, May 23, 2022

“The most important part of this book as I see it now is about bringing the lessons of African American studies to bear on the history of modern Egypt.”

“How Egypt’s grandiose neo-Pharaonism lends legitimacy to its strongman,” The New Arab, November 23, 2021

“Seeking legitimacy through grandiosity, Egypt’s military rulers led by President Sisi have been staging epic neo-Pharaonic displays, but this has dark roots linked to European fascism and 20th-century revisionism.”
