I started reading this and couldnt stop. Its a remarkable piece of work, and very revealing. A stirring rendition of a peoples revolution Noam ChomskyThe deepest and most comprehensive account of Egypts revolution in the English language Paul MasonEgypt is a nation in turmoil, caught in a cycle of revolution and counterrevolution. In The Egyptians A Radical Story, Jack Shenker uncovers the historical roots of todays unrest and reveals a land divided between two irreconcilable political orders authoritarian power and grassroots resistance. Challenging conventional analyses that focus only on the battle between Islamists and secular forces, he travels the Arab Worlds most populous country to explore other, far more important fault lines the communities waging war against transnational corporations, the people subverting longestablished gender norms, the workers seizing control of their factories, and the novelists, graffiti artists and backalley DJs defying their repressive regime.Showing that the revolution was no isolated episode but rather part of an ongoing struggle against state authority and economic exclusion, Shenker explains why recent events are so threatening to elites both inside Egypt and abroad. While Egyptian rulers seek to eliminate dissent, seeded within the politics of the young generation are forms of democracy, social justice and resistance that could yet change the world.
