Uncover the lasting impact of anticolonial politics on contemporary Egypt. This pivotal study re-examines Egypt’s mid-20th century decolonisation, arguing that the Nasserist project’s legacy of hegemony, nationalism, and military rule remains central to understanding today’s political landscape and the 2011 revolution. Through a dialogue with theorists like Gramsci and Fanon, it explores resistance, liberation, and travelling theory. Essential for students and researchers of Middle Eastern studies, political science, and postcolonial theory, this book offers critical insights into revolution and governance in the postcolonial world.
