Through Gramsci and Fanon, Salem centers anticolonial politics by exploring the connections between Egypt's moment of decolonization and the 2011 revolution.

Recenzje

'Sara Salem's book makes a highly significant contribution to Marxist and postcolonial theories in politics and international relations … [of] value to scholars of the postcolonial state and its distinct articulation in the context of the Middle East. It not only succeeds in challenging conventional approaches to the region but also makes an invaluable contribution to scholars interested in the intersection of the ideational and the material in international politics.' Vivienne Jabri, Perspectives on Politics
