Egypt's Revolutions: Politics, Religion, and Social Movements

by Bernard Rougier (Editor), Cynthia Schoch (Translator), Stéphane Lacroix (Editor), John Angell (Translator)

Overview

Where is Egypt headed? Did the people 'bring down the government'? Has the country become the first front in a regional counter-revolution backed by the Gulf monarchies? These are only some of the questions that this volume - the first to describe the ongoing dynamics in Egypt since the outbreak of revolution - explores.
