  • Democracy Is the Answer - Egypt's Years of Revolution

Description

As the Egyptian revolution unfolded throughout 2011 and the ensuing years, no one was better positioned to comment on it—and try to push it in productive directions—than best-selling novelist and political commentator Alaa Al-Aswany. For years a leading critic of the Mubarak regime, Al-Aswany used his weekly newspaper column for Al-Masry Al-Youm to propound the revolution’s ideals and to confront the increasingly troubled politics of its aftermath.

Description

A collection of articles written by the critic of the Mubarak regime for the newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm over three years confronts the crucial issues of corruption, brutality, police negligence, and the judicial and religious interference in a divided society's search for agreement on a constitution and democratically-elected government.
