This book traces the mobilization process leading up to the January
25 Uprising, and furthers our understanding of the largely
unexpected diffusion of protest during this Egyptian Revolution.
Focusing on the role of the so-called "Cairo-based political
opposition," this study strongly suggests a need to pay closer
attention to the complexity and contingent nature of such
large-scale protest episodes. Building on interviews with
activists, employees of NGOs in the human rights advocacy sector,
and journalists, this in-depth single case study reveals how
different movement organizations in the Egyptian prodemocracy
movement had long, and largely unsuccessfully, tried to mobilize
support for socio-political change in the country. Against this
backdrop, the book illustrates how a coalition of activists sought
to organize a protest event against police brutality in early 2011.
The resulting protests on January 25 surprised not only the regime
of Hosni Mubarak, but also the organizers.
