This book sheds light on the growing phenomenon of cyberactivism in
the Arab world, with a special focus on the Egyptian political
blogosphere and its role in paving the way to democratization and
socio-political change in Egypt, which culminated in Egypt's
historical popular revolution on Jan. 25, 2011. In doing so, it
examines the relevance and applicability of the concepts of citizen
journalism and civic engagement to the discourses and deliberations
in five of the most popular political blogs in Egypt, through
exploring the potential connection between virtual activism, as
represented in the postings on these blogs, and real activism in
Egyptian political life, as represented in the calls for social,
economic and political reform on the streets.
