Description
Dignity in the Egyptian Revolution explores the pivotal role of dignity as both a motivating force and a central demand during Egypt’s revolutionary moments and the wider Arab uprisings. Zaynab El Bernoussi provides a comprehensive analysis of how ordinary citizens mobilized around the concept of dignity, challenging authoritarian regimes and demanding fundamental rights and recognition.
The book examines protest movements as sites of political contestation where dignity was articulated, negotiated, and transformed. El Bernoussi investigates how activists, youth movements, and ordinary Egyptians framed their demands through the lens of dignity, creating a powerful narrative that transcended economic grievances to address deeper questions of human worth and social recognition.
Through detailed case studies and primary sources, this work contributes to our understanding of the Arab Spring’s ideological dimensions and the persistent struggle for human dignity in the Middle East.
