vrijdag 15 november Tahrir, Gaza & beyond

Boekpresentatie.
In this timely talk based on her new book Tahrir’s Youth: Leaders of a Leaderless Revolution, Rusha Latif will challenge the commonly held belief that the 2011 Egyptian revolution was spontaneous and leaderless, through a provocative new account of the revolutionaries—one that foregrounds their solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation as a key catalyst behind their revolt. Speaking to these interconnections, the presentation will follow the trajectory of the Egyptian revolutionary movement through its successes and defeats from the perspective of the Revolutionary Youth Coalition (RYC), the first and arguably most significant front born of the nationwide revolt. This talk will not only illuminate the Egyptian uprising’s leadership and organizing dynamics but also impart urgent lessons from the protagonists behind this historic movement—lessons for everyone hoping to achieve liberation and revolutionary change in the 21st century.
