Climate Justice between ‘Fridays for Future’ and a Pastor’s Sermon
Ordinary people can and do make dramatic political change. The issue of climate justice has galvanised not simply environmental activists but also citizens from different generations and walks of life to protest against perceived inaction by their governments and the ostensible greed of corporations in phasing out the use of fossil fuels. Greta Thunberg’s direct action of protest and civil disobedience has given renewed impetus to environmental a…

Frantz Fanon as Witness and Participant: Theorising a Peasant Revolution
Frantz Fanon was not only a witness to colonial violence and its equally violent anti-colonial response, he was also a participant who contributed to the fln ’s campaign for liberation from the French metropole. Thus, the twin roles of witness and participant in the Algerian anti-colonial struggle allowed Fanon to theorise revolution away from the putative detachment of the ivory towers of academic speculation or distant commentators. This paper’…

Gendering a Critical Islamic Idiom
The subject of women's rights has received considerable attention from contemporar Muslim scholars, intellectual and activists. Two broad trends in particular stand out on gender relations for their reinterpretation of Islam in response to social change. Islamic feminists and Muslim centrists, belonging to the Wasaṭiyya, have, with noticeable differences within each group, addressed the rights of women through separate yet not dissimilar referenc…
Rethinking Peace: Discourse, Memory, Translation, and Dialogue, edited by Alexander Laban Hinton, Giorgio Shani and Jeremiah Alberg. Reviewed by Mohammed Moussa
Peace is a protean concept that equally eludes academics and practitioners on the one hand and perpetrators and victims on the other hand. However, this conundrum has not discouraged the preoccupation of peace and conflict studies with fixing the definition of peace once and for all for immediate export to war zones. In this essay, I review the timely book of Rethinking Peace: Discourse, Memory, Translation, and Dialogue which explicitly aims at …
Media and learning democracy: The face of emerging political activism in Egypt
Popular protests erupted in Egypt at the start of the second decade of the twentyfirst century, inspired by similar uprisings in the Arab world. The formation of political parties following the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak allowed a variety of Islamist actors to enter the political field with relative ease. Youth activists and groups employed bottom-up activism in a process that Larbi Sadiki has described to be ‘democratic learning’. In this articl…
Politics of the Islamic Tradition: The Thought of Muhammad Al-Ghazali
Protests, Islamism and the waning prospect of revolution in Egypt
Popular uprisings across the Arab world from late 2010 soon transformed its political geography. Authoritarian regimes were confronted with challenges from their citizens. In Egypt, Hosni Mubarak's security forces, epitomised by the Interior Ministry, had formerly managed to contain outbreaks of protests in the opening decade of the twenty-first century. However, the organising and mobilising of protests by groups such as Kefaya led to a wider so…
