Egyptian Revolutions : Conflict, Repetition and Identification Hardback
by Amal Treacher Kabesh
Hardback
Description
The socio-political context of Egypt is full of the affectual burdens of history.
The revolutions of both 1952 and 2011 proclaimed that the oppressive, colonial past had been overthrown decisively.
So why has the oppression perpetrated by previous regimes been repeated?
What impact has this had on the lives of ‘ordinary’ citizens?Egyptian Revolutions looks at the impact of the current events in Egypt on citizens in relation to matters of belonging, identification and repetition.
It contests the tendency within postcolonial theory to understand these events as resistance to Western imperialism and the positioning of activists as agents of sustainable change.
Instead, it pays close attention to the continuities from the past and the contradictions at work in relation to identification, repetition and conflict.
Combining postcolonial theory with a psychosocial studies framework it explores the complexities of inhabiting a society in a state of conflict and offers a careful analysis of current theories of gender, religion and secularism, agency, resistance and compliance, in a society riven with divisions and conflicts.
