Reviews
'Challenges conventional accounts surrounding the overthrow of the Mubarak regime. Based on his long observation of Egypt as activist and scholar, Marfleet provides readers with a sophisticated examination of the origins of the uprisings and their future' -- Tareq Ismael, Professor of Political Science, University of Calgary, and author of The Communist Movement in the Arab World (Routledge, 2005) 'A fast-paced and highly perceptive account of Egypt's revolutionary process. Deftly exploring the roots of the uprising and the various social forces that continue to contest Egypt's future, the book is a powerful testament to Marfleet's deep understanding of Egyptian politics and his long engagement with the country's left and social movements' -- Adam Hanieh, Senior Lecturer in Development Studies at the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS), and co-editor of Transit States: Labour, Migration and Citizenship in the Gulf (Pluto, 2014) 'An essential guide to the dynamics of Egypt's mass (revolutionary) movement and the ensuing counter revolution' -- Ray Bush, Professor of African Studies and Development Politics, University of Leeds, and co-editor of Marginality and Exclusion in Egypt (Zed Books, 2012)
Braced by the sheer size of Egypt's popular uprisings of 2011 as well as their ubiquity, Phil Marfleet challenges conventional accounts surrounding the overthrow of the Mubarak regime. Based on his long observation of contemporary Egypt as activist and scholar, Marfleet's Egypt: Contested Revolution provides readers with a sophisticated examination of the origins of the uprisings and their future - a prospect that he notes elicits anxiety at the highest levels of the state. -- Tareq Ismael, Professor of Political Science, University of Calgary, and author of The Communist Movement in the Arab World (Routledge, 2005)
