Bread and Freedom: Egypt’s Revolutionary Situation

byMona El-Ghobashy

Bread and Freedom offers a new account of Egypt’s 2011 revolutionary mobilization, based on a documentary record hidden in plain sight—party manifestos, military communiqués, open letters, constitutional contentions, protest slogans, parliamentary debates, and court decisions. Bread and Freedom rests its case on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. Bread and Freedom also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in history and political science.
