Description

For too long Egypt’s system of government used to be beholden to the interests of the elite in power, aided by the massive apparatus of the security state. Snapping point came on 25 January 2011. But a couple of years after popular rise up enthralled a global audience, the struggle for democracy and basic freedoms are far from being won. Media, Revolution, and Politics in Egypt: The Story of an Uprising examines the political and media dynamic in pre-and post-revolution Egypt and what it might mean for the country’s democratic transition. We follow events throughout the period leading as much as the 2011 revolution, eighteen days of uprising, military rule, an elected president’s year in workplace, and his ouster by the military. Activism has expanded freedoms of expression only to see those spaces contract with the resurrection of the police state. And with sharpening political divisions, the facts have change into amorphous as ideological trends cling to their very own narratives of truth.
