This book examines the decade long of protest movements which created the context for the January 2011 mass uprising. It tells the story of Egypt’s long revolutionary process by exploring its genealogy in the decade before 25 January 2011 and tracing its development in the three years that have followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book analyses new forms of political mobilisation that arose in response to ever-increasing grievances against authoritarian politics, deteriorating living conditions for the majority of Egyptians as a consequence of neo-liberal policies and the machinery of crony capitalism, and an almost total abandoning by the state of its responsibilities to society at large. It argues that the increasing societal pressures from different quarters such as labour groups, pro-democracy movements and ordinary citizens during this period culminated in an intensifying culture of protest and activism that was vital in the lead up to the dramatic overthrow of Mubarak. It, also, argues that the features of these new forms of activism and political mobilisation have contributed to shaping the political process since the downfall of Mubarak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on research undertaken since 2002, \u003ci\u003eEgypt’s Long Revolution \u003c\/i\u003eis an essential resource for scholars and researchers with an interest in social movements, comparative politics and Middle East Politics in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaha Abdelrahman\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Lecturer at the Centre of Development Studies and the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge.
