Roots of the Egyptian Revolution
I was honored to speak on Tuesday night, together with activists Wael Khalil, Asmaa Aly and Kholoud Saber, at the 2nd Tweet Nadwa, hosted by Alaa, at the Rawabet Theater.
The topic of discussion was the roots of Egyptian revolution. The audio recording of the entire event is available here.
Egypt’s 1968: The revival of street politics
Above is Chapter IV of the MA Thesis I wrote 10 years ago, when studying at the American University in Cairo’s Political Science department. This chapter discusses the revival of the student movement following the 1967 defeat.
Of course reading it today I wish if I would have edited some parts, changed the lingo here and there, and added more resources and info I’ve been learning over the past years.
But in general I still think the thesis stands, and could help shed some light on this critical period in the history of the left in Egypt.
