Summary:  "Egypt is a nation in turmoil, caught in a cycle of revolution and counter-revolution. Jack Shenker uncovers the historical roots of today's unrest and reveals a land divided between two irreconcilable political orders- authoritarian power and grassroots resistance. Challenging conventional analyses that focus only on the battle between Islamists and secular forces, he travels the Arab World's most populous country to explore other, far more important fault lines: the communities waging war against transnational corporations, the people subverting long-established gender norms, the workers seizing control of their factories, and the novelists, graffiti artists and back-alley DJs defying their repressive regime. Showing that the revolution was no isolated episode but rather part of an ongoing struggle against state authority and economic exclusion, Shenker explains why recent events are so threatening to elites both inside Egypt and abroad. While Egyptian rulers seek to eliminate dissent, seeded within the politics of the young generation are forms of democracy, social justice and resistance that could yet change the world. Jack Shenker is a journalist based in London and Cairo"--Provided by publisher.
