"This edited volume provides a unique look at theEgyptian revolution by granting agency to activists anddescribing how art continually serves as a language ofcontestation. The book, however, lacks a solid theo-retical basis that situates this specific case study in thewider literature on social movements and feminist lit-erature on gender and nationalism." Anwar Mhajne, H-Net-Reviews, 3 (2016) "These texts are at once inspiring, critical and reflexive." Wasafiri Issue, 81 (2015) "Sehr zu empfehlen." Sebastian Gerth, MEDIENwissenschaft, 2 (2015) "[The book] provides an innovative and nuanced account of the significance of images during this exceptional period. Rather than a monument to a past moment, [the book] should be seen as an effort to sustain this revolutionary opening in its various iterations, thus harnessing the generativity of these exceptional events." Mark R. Westmoreland, Journal of the Society for Contemporary Thought and the Islamicate World, 4 (2015)
