Anticolonial Afterlives in Egypt delves into the country's inaugural postcolonial endeavor, contending that the enduring legacies of anticolonial politics, intertwined with issues of nationalism, military rule, capitalist development, and violence, hold paramount significance in comprehending political events in Egypt today. Through an imagined dialogue between Antonio Gramsci and Frantz Fanon, two foundational theorists of anti-capitalism and anticolonialism, Anticolonial Afterlives in Egypt centers its attention on themes of resistance, revolution, mastery, and liberation to demonstrate how the Nasserist project, established by Gamal Abdel Nasser and the Free Officers in 1952, remains the sole instance of hegemony in modern Egyptian history. By proposing that Nasserism was made feasible through local, regional, and global anticolonial politics, even as it reproduced colonial modes of governance that continue to resonate in Egypt's present, this interdisciplinary study engages with questions of traveling theory, global politics, and resistance and revolution in the postcolonial world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 464g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 151 x 227 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108798389\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SaraSalem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094972887290,"sku":"9781108798389","price":25.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1655476769928_book.jpg?v=1655739863","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/anticolonial-afterlives-in-egypt-the-politics-of-hegemony-9781108798389","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
