Revolutionary Art and Politics in Egypt
Liminal Spaces and Cultural Production after 2011
Rounwah Adly Riyadh Bseiso Through interviews, personal testimonies, and accounts of the lived experience of 25 street artists, this book explores the art of the Egyptian revolution, specifically by focussing on artistic production during ‘liminal’ moments as events unfolded. The author privileges the perspective of the actors themselves to examine the ways that artists reacted to events and conceived of their art as means to further the goals of the revolution. Based on fieldwork conducted in the years since 2011, the book provides a narrative of Egyptian artists’ participation in and representations of the revolution, from hopeful beginnings to the subsequent crackdown and election of al-Sisi.

A History of Secrecy and Militancy in an Islamist Organization
Ahmed Abou El Zalaf, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark This book uses extensive archival research to uncover what took place when the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was forced unground due to state repression between 1948-1951 and 1954-1970, and how and why it survived. It combines social theory with a vast array of primary source material such as autobiographical accounts produced by members to provide a new bottom-up perspective on the Brotherhood’s structure that goes beyond the role of leaders such as Sayyid Qutb to reveal it as both an overt political organisation and a secretive one able to withstand extended and harsh periods of persecution.

China and North Africa
Between Economics, Politics and Security
Edited by Adel Abdel Ghafar, The Brookings Institution, Doha, Qatar Beijing’s growing footprint in North Africa encompasses, but is not limited to, trade, infrastructure development, ports, shipping, financial cooperation, tourism and manufacturing. It is continuing to expand its co-operation with North African countries. In this book, five leading country experts examine how China is impacting on the politics, economy and security of Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt. Contributors explain why China’s growing role in North Africa is likely to have far-reaching economic and geopolitical consequences for both countries in the region and around the world.

Britain and the Regency of Tripoli
Consuls and Empire-Building in Nineteenth-Century North Africa
Sara M. ElGaddari
Using the National Archive records of correspondence of the British consuls and diplomats from 1795 to 1832, and within the context of the wider Eastern Question, this book reconstructs the the Anglo-Tripolitanian relationship and argues that the Regency of Tripoli played a vital role in Britain’s imperial strategy during and after the Napoleonic Wars. Moreover, it contends that the activities of British consuls in Tripoli, and the networks they fostered around themselves, reshaped the nature and extent of British imperial activity in the region.

Britain, Egypt, and Iraq during World War II
The Decline of Imperial Power in the Middle East
Stefanie Wichhart, University of Niagara, USA This book explores the tumultuous war years through the lens of the British Embassies in Cairo and Baghdad, demonstrating the role that the Second World War played in shaping the political and social map of the contemporary Middle East. The war served as a catalyst for seismic changes in Arab society and the emergence of new movements that provided powerful critiques of British intervention and of the governments that facilitated it, making the war a critical turning point in Britain’s empire in the Middle East.

Civil Society in Algeria
Activism, Identity and the Democratic Process
Jessica Ayesha Northey, University of Coventry, UK
This book traces the development of civil society in Algeria since the Algerian civil war. Based on extensive fieldwork, Jessica Northey shows how associations have challenged government policy and play an increasingly important role in the stability and future peaceful relations of the MENA region. This new paperback edition includes an additional ‘Part IV’ to cover the mass street protests that shook Algeria in 2019. The book is the key text on Algeria’s state-society relations and now connects the modern history of civil society up to the present day in light of the Hirak�
