This book examines the combative role of Egyptian independent workers’ formal and informal organizations as a contentious social movement to challenge the regime. It will examine the evolving role of workers as socio-economic actors and then as political actors in very political transitions.

Recenzje

"The Arab Spring was a great and lost opportunity to bring democracy and secular reform to the Arab world. Heba F. El-Shazli shows how workers and their organizations were central to the movement’s strength; and how defeat was a blow to campaigns to bring economic as well as political justice to working people in Egypt and throughout the world." –Gerald Friedman, University of Massachusetts, USA
