No chapter in Egypt's contemporary history has been more turbulent
and unpredictable than the past three years. In a very short period
of time, the Arab world's most populous country has seen a
transition from rule by an iron-fisted dictatorship to a populist
uprising to military omnipotence to Islamist electoral victory to
constitutional turmoil to societal polarization. Egypt's iconic
revolution has been neither victorious nor defeated. Egypt in Flux
is a collection of essays on the political, social, economic, and
cultural dimensions of change in the country's ongoing
revolutionary current. While written over a span of several years,
the essays are timeless in the historical context they provide and
their ability to chart the country's trajectory in the period
ahead. From the conditions that precipitated the uprising and the
eruption of national dissent to the derailing of the revolution,
the author reflects on the pressing topics of the day while being
mindful of the counterrevolutionary movements and the continuation
of the unending uprising. From discussions about the illusion of
fair and free elections, social inequities, and labor disparities
to examinations of religion, sports, literature, and sexuality, the
essays in this valuable and intellectually stimulating volume chart
both the broad lines and the nuances of an unfinished revolution.
