Reviews

This book is an important contribution to debates which should concern us all as researchers and students of potential revolutionary transformation, of Egyptian politics and of Gramsci's political thought. It raises questions about the meaning and substance of revolution and the potentials and limits of Tahrir republic(s) everywhere. -- Dr. Maha Abdelrahman, Reader in Development Studies and Middle East Politics, University of Cambridge, and author of 'Egypt's Long Revolution: Protest Movements and Uprisings' (Routledge, 2014)


Brecht de Smet's Gramsci on Tahrir is a wide-ranging and innovative work that will be of invaluable use to scholars of the Middle East, revolution, and 'democratic transition' and the use of Gramscian political concepts in global political economy. -- Dr. Jamie Allinson, Lecturer in International Relations, University of Edinburgh, and Editor at 'Salvage' This book is an important contribution to debates which should concern us all as researchers and students of potential revolutionary transformation, of Egyptian politics and of Gramsci's political thought.
