"""Cairo Securitized offers a remarkable and compelling new approach to understanding how security regimes permeate the geography of Cairo (its physical, temporal, and digital geographies) and the bodies that inhabit it. The collection of contributors and topics is exquisitely curated, and amplifies the voices of both scholars and activists from the region, reflecting a remarkable array of expertise. This volume will be essential reading not only for security studies scholars, but for anyone, in any discipline, studying the contemporary Middle East.""--L. L. Wynn, Macquarie University"
