Egypt's 2011 Uprising, Islamism, and the Unpopularity of Being Popular
Descriptions and analyses of the 2011 “Arab Spring” uprisings constitute a veritable cottage industry for journalists, academics, and think-tank consultants. The three books under review here join an ever-expanding library that documents and interprets those crucial events in December 2010 and January 2011, that so passionately raised our hopes only to later so bitterly crush them
Egypt and the Contradictions of Liberalism
Egypt’s secular liberal politicians who consistently get the most headlines and media attention, in reality garner very little backing from ordinary Egyptians. Their small, even miniscule, sliver of popular support speaks volumes to the immense unpopularity of secular liberal politicians in Egypt. In this new and most welcome book edited by Dalia Fahmy and Daanish Faruqi, several of the contributors acknowledge the objectionable character of secu…
Globalizing Rural Egypt
It is tempting to see globalization as a response to large, impersonal market forces detached from individual agents and their more parochial interests. Yet while such abstract forces might set up appealing conditions, motivations and intentions operate at a more concrete level. This example from Egypt demonstrates that a near-constant “battle of the sexes” in rural Egypt, perpetrated by patriarchal stereotypes and wage differentials, provides a …
Rule of Experts
Islamism in Southern Egypt
For years, religious violence and terrorism in Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt have splashed across the headlines and surged across the screen, announcing yet another round of senseless death and destruction. While Arabists and Islamicists attempt to pick their way carefully through the ideological and intellectual minefields to make sense of what is happening, the wider public generally disregards their insights and instead sticks to what…
No One Likes a Vacuum
This essay examines the reasons behind the 1990 war between Iraq and the United States. It employs world-systems theory and a modified concept of hegemony to present this hostility as an outcome of the historical relationship between dominant core nations and those states in the periphery and semiperiphery of the Middle East. The decline of Egypt and Iran created space for Iraq to further its ambitions as a regional power, but one unconstrained b…

Pride, Purdah, or Paychecks
Traveling from al-Minya, Egypt, north to Cairo by train in the mid-1980s, an observer could not help but notice the large numbers of women and children working in the lush agricultural plots adjacent to the railroad tracks. In fact, throughout the northern Sa⊂id and the Delta, too, women seemed to have taken over the fields. Furthermore, upon arriving at the Agriculture Ministry in Giza, a listener frequently overheard remarks referring to the “a…
Culture and Context in Sudan
Land Reform in the Middle East
In any program of land reform, the method of determining compensation for the land to the former landlord and the cost to the peasant can be of great social and economic significance. This possibility arises from the fact that the officially determined value of redistributed land—whether it is below, equal to, or above the true market value—could have a considerable direct effect on the distribution of wealth among the various socioeconomic class…
