{"product_id":"contested-legitimacies-jannis-julien-grimm-9789463722650","title":"Contested Legitimacies: Repression and Revolt in Post-Revolutionary Egypt","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the overthrow of President Mursi in mid-2013, Egypt has witnessed an authoritarian rollback and shrinking spaces for civil society. Nationalist discourses have villified popular protest and channelled pressure for reform into a state-centric model of governance. Despite this hostile environment for social mobilization, protest has persisted. \u003ci\u003eContested Legitimacies\u003c\/i\u003e explores this resilience of contentious politics through a multimethod approach that is attuned to the physical and discursive interactions among key players in Egypt's protest arena. Drawing from a unique archive of sources, it investigates the rise and fall of different coalitions of contenders, from the Tamarod uprising against Mursi, to the Anti-Coup resistance against the military coup, to the challenges posed by the Tiran and Sanafir island campaign to Al-Sisi's regime. It highlights the decisive impact of battles fought in a discursive arena on the conditions of possibility for street politics: In postrevolutionary Egypt, a contest over the meaning of political legitimacy cemented political polarization, limited social movements' coalition choices, and ultimately paved the way for a restoration of autocracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jannis Julien Grimm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463722653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463722650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Jannis Julien Grimm","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48217679626495,"sku":"9789463722650","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91587cde-e0a4-49b7-9b99-594101746bee.jpg?v=1771998741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contested-legitimacies-jannis-julien-grimm-9789463722650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
