| Editorial Review | "The book's collection of articles is essentially a perceptive window on a decade of great importance for the world that happened to focus a great deal on the Middle East. There is good variety among the topics, and the pieces are unfailingly smart, informed, and edgy. Shukrallah's voice is an important and distinctive one and here he is commenting on momentous events for his country, the region, and the world. An important and distinctive writer in the Arab world, he combines a strong narrative voice, a command of history and current events, and a cosmopolitan Cairo perspective to achieve this."Scott MacLeod, professor of practice in the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism at the American University in Cairo, longtime foreign correspondent for TIME Magazine, and editor of The Cairo Review of Global Affairs "In the coming years, Egypt is faced with the challenge of reforming the Arabic world, or letting the theocratic nature of it continue on. Egypt, the Arabs, and the World discusses history in the making, following the Egyptian revolution and other risings in the termed Arab Spring of 2011. Discusses the potential of democracy in the west, author Hani Shukrallah also discusses the perceptions of the west and their impact on the proceedings in this tumultuous period. Egypt, the Arabs, and the World is a scholarly and much needed break down of this curious period of history, very much recommended reading."Midwest Book Review "Egyptian journalist Shukrallah collects columns written (mostly for the state-owned al Ahram Weekly) during the late 1990s through to the early stages of the Egyptian uprising of 2011. Shukrallah, who hails protesters of Tahrir Square for their overthrow of Hosni Mubarak at the opening of the book, ranges across a broad swath of mostly political topics concerning Egypt, the broader Arab world, and their interactions with global capitalism and empire. Shukrallah's perspective can generally be characterized as secular left and, to a certain extent, pan-Arab nationalist (even if he evidences some significant disappointment and disillusionment in the achievements to date of pan-Arabism)."Reference and Research Book News |
