This is a book about the turbulent years that preceded, and paved the way for, the Egyptian revolution of January and February 2011. A compilation of articles written about Egyptian politics, society, and culture, it deals with the final five years of Hosni Mubarak’s rule—years that undermined his legitimacy, and sowed the seeds of revolution. The articles included in this collection combine political analysis and social observation with historical insights, cultural critique and psychological inspection.
