A prominent historian provides an engaging on-the-ground account of
the everyday authoritarianism that produced the Arab Spring in
Egypt "A visceral and perceptive study of life under
autocracy."-Publishers Weekly An unmatched contemporary history of
authoritarian politics and an unflinching examination of the
politics of historical authority, My Egypt Archive is at once a
chronicle of Egypt in the 2000s and a historian's bildungsroman. As
Alan Mikhail dutifully collected the paper scraps of the past, he
witnessed how the everyday oppressions of a government institution
led most Egyptians to want to remake their society in early 2011.
In telling these stories of the archive, Mikhail centers the
politics of access, interpersonal relationships, state power, and
the emotion, anxiety, and inchoate nature of historical research.
My Egypt Archive reveals the workings of an authoritarian regime
from inside its institutions in the decade leading up to the Arab
Spring and, in doing so, points the way to exciting new modes of
historical inquiry that give voice to the visceral realities all
historians experience.
