{"product_id":"the-egyptians-jack-shenker-9781620972557","title":"The Egyptians: A Radical History of Egypt's Unfinished Revolution","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe award-winning journalist and longtime Cairo resident delivers a \"meticulous, passionate study\" of the ongoing battle for contemporary Egypt (\u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On January, 25, 2011, a revolution began in Egypt that succeeded in ousting the country's longtime dictator Hosni Mubarak. In \u003ci\u003eThe Egyptians\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Jack Shenker uncovers the roots of the uprising and explores the country's current state, divided between two irreconcilable political orders. Challenging conventional analyses that depict a battle between Islamists and secular forces, \u003ci\u003eThe Egyptians \u003c\/i\u003eilluminates other, equally important fault lines: far-flung communities waging war against transnational corporations, men and women fighting to subvert long-established gender norms, and workers dramatically seizing control of their own factories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Putting the Egyptian revolution in its proper context as an ongoing popular struggle against state authority and economic exclusion, \u003ci\u003eThe Egyptians\u003c\/i\u003e explains why the events since 2011 have proved so threatening to elites both inside Egypt and abroad. As Egypt's rulers seek to eliminate all forms of dissent, seeded within the rebellious politics of Egypt's young generation are big ideas about democracy, sovereignty, social justice, and resistance that could yet change the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"I started reading this and couldn't stop. It's a remarkable piece of work, and very revealing. A stirring rendition of a people's revolution as the popular forces that Shenker vividly depicts carry forward their many and varied struggles, with radical potential that extends far beyond Egypt.\" --Noam Chomsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Shenker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1620972557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620972557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2016 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2017","brand":"Jack Shenker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979410997503,"sku":"9781620972557","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aeddf4c1-5147-4258-b371-98fc049ddd0c.jpg?v=1683245392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-egyptians-jack-shenker-9781620972557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
