Description
The Roots of Revolt traces the evolution of Egypt’s political economy from Gamal Abdel Nasser’s nationalist revolution through Hosni Mubarak’s three-decade authoritarian rule. Angela Joya provides a comprehensive analysis of how structural economic transformations shaped political institutions, state capacity, and popular mobilization.
The book examines the relationship between economic policies, class formation, and social movements that ultimately led to the 2011 revolution. Joya argues that understanding Egypt’s political trajectory requires examining the deep economic structures underlying state power and popular resistance. Through detailed historical analysis, the work explores how nationalist development strategies, economic liberalization, and integration into global markets created conditions for widespread discontent and eventual revolt.
