Is it a passive condition that the disadvantaged simply have to endure? Or is it a manufactured label, reproduced and by its nature transitory?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the wake of the new uprising in Egypt, this insightful collection explores issues of power, politics and inequality in Egypt and the Middle East. It argues that the notion of marginality tends to mask the true power relations that perpetuate poverty and exclusion. It is these dynamic processes of political and economic transformation that need explanation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book provides a revealing analysis of key areas of Egyptian political economy, such as labour, urbanization and the creation of slums, disability, refugees, street children, and agrarian livelihoods, reaching the impactful conclusion that marginalization does not mean total exclusion. What is marginalized can be called upon to play a dynamic part in the future -- as is the case with the revolution that toppled President Mubarak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eRay Bush is Professor of African Studies and Development Politics at the University of Leeds, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHabib Ayeb is a researcher at the Social Research Center at the American University in Cairo.
