The socio-political context of Egypt is full of the affectual
burdens of history. The revolutions of both 1952 and 2011
proclaimed that the oppressive, colonial past had been overthrown
decisively. So why has the oppression perpetrated by previous
regimes been repeated? What impact has this had on the lives of
'ordinary' citizens? Egyptian Revolutions looks at the impact of
the current events in Egypt on citizens in relation to matters of
belonging, identification and repetition. It contests the tendency
within postcolonial theory to understand these events as resistance
to Western imperialism and the positioning of activists as agents
of sustainable change. Instead, it pays close attention to the
continuities from the past and the contradictions at work in
relation to identification, repetition and conflict. Combining
postcolonial theory with a psychosocial studies framework it
explores the complexities of inhabiting a society in a state of
conflict and offers a careful analysis of current theories of
gender, religion and secularism, agency, resistance and compliance,
in a society riven with divisions and conflicts.
