The tumultuous events that began in Egypt in 2011 have embraced
revolution and counter-revolution. For Philip Marfleet, they are a
complex and continuing process in which millions of people from a
range of political formations and socio-economic and religious
backgrounds became 'agents of change'. Amidst a surge of publishing
on the 'Arab Spring' this book aims to close a critical gap by
examining the specific character and composition of the Egyptian
struggle. The social and cultural initiatives that constituted 'the
carnival of the oppressed' come alive in the testimonies of
participants across the political spectrum, allowing us to explore
activist engagements in the streets, workplaces, campuses and
neighbourhoods, as well as in the formal political arena. Following
the 2011 revolution was, the Ittihaiddya demonstrations, the
anti-Mursi marches and countless smaller protests, rallies, mass
meetings, community mobilisations and labour actions, which
indicate that the revolutionary energy is undiminished. With this
in mind, Marfleet asks what can be learned from the Egyptian case
about political upheavals that continue to affect societies of the
Global South. Five years after the start of the 'Arab Spring', this
offers one of the best participant-orientated accounts of the
country's struggle.
