A Times Higher Education Book of the Year
Uprisings spread like wildfire across the Arab world from 2010 to 2012, fueled by a desire for popular sovereignty. In Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and elsewhere, protesters flooded the streets and the media, voicing dissent through slogans, graffiti, puppetry, videos and satire that called for the overthrow of dictators and the regimes that sustained them. Investigating what drives people to risk everything to express themselves in rebellious art, The Naked Blogger of Cairo uncovers the creative insurgency at the heart of the Arab uprisings.
"A deep dive into the cultural politics of the Arab uprisings.Kraidy's sharp insights and rich descriptions of a New Arab generation's irrepressible creative urges will amply reward the effort. Reading Kraidy's accounts of the politically charted cultural gambits of wired Arab youth rekindles some of the seemingly lost spirit of the early days of the Arab uprisings and offers hope for the future."
--Marc Lynch, Washington Post
"The Naked Blogger of Cairo is a superb and important work not just for scholars but for anyone who cares about the relationships between art, the body and revolution."
--Hans Rollman, PopMatters.
