This book comes out of two long-standing concerns of mine. On the one hand, I have been interested in the protracted process of global decolonization, especially in the Middle East, and the ways in which it succeeded or not.

Immediately after 2013, I realized that the more Egypt took center stage as an economic and political partner from a Western perspective, and especially from EU member states, the more the game of political and diplomatic moral neoliberalism unfolded, while rea..

This book stems from a reaction to the pervasive and acritical use of civilizational paradigms in the study of modern Arabic literature.

This book is not so much edited as curated, by a team of Egyptian and international scholars, human rights defenders, and activists who came together in support of prisoners of conscience in Egypt.

An editor from Oxford University Press contacted me about the possibility of editing a handbook on the history of modern Egypt. Given the years that had passed since the appearance of the classic Cambridge volumes on Egyptian history, there was clearly room and..

The decision to embark on this book venture assumed the character of an ethical dilemma. Concurrently pursuing an academic trajectory in development studies, I found myself navigating diverse professional experiences, including being an economic advisor in Egyp..

In my book, I discuss how many revolutionary actors brought ideas such as El Naddaha (النداهة or “the caller”), a myth or a legend particularly prominent in Egypt’s countryside about a female spirit that calls men to the Nile, leading to t..

My article, “Excavating Musical Heritage in Modern Egypt,” developed out of research I was doing on Egyptian singers of the mid-twentieth century. I was examining how the Egyptian public talked about popular singers but also who/what informed how they talked.

The Egyptian revolution of 2011 is not only a watershed episode in Middle Eastern political history but also a curious case from the perspective of scholarship. It has been the subject of extensive analysis – perhaps not since the 1979 Iranian revolution have so many reports, articles, and books..

My PhD thesis, submitted in 2014, explored the evolution of the online debate in post-revolutionary Tunisia and Egypt. This initial work focused on the politization of the local social media sphere during the first electoral campaigns and constitutional referen..

The book emerged from the aftermath of the Egyptian revolution. I was struck by the deep reach of Mubarak's authoritarian rule, which affected even the smallest details of daily life. While we largely understand how this regime maintained its control on a macro..

Central to the NDPers’ integration into Mustaqbal Watan Party (MWP) was the association (and later “political brand”) known as Min Agl Masr (MAM), Arabic for “For Egypt’s Sake.” Seeking to cultivate public support for President Sisi and his policies, the organization made its debut in May 2016 u..

#The_New_Republic (الجمهوريةــالجديدة#) was the hashtag featured on every television screen in Egypt last month to mark ten years since the birth of the political order that came into being after the coup of 3 July 2013. The anniversary coincided with a tense moment in the age of the regime of A..
