Mona El-Ghobashy

Mona El-Ghobashy, a clinical associate professor at NYU and an expert on Egypt's revolutionary landscape, discusses her book "Bread and Freedom." She analyzes the complexities of the 2011 Arab Spring, challenging conventional ideas of revolution by introducing the concept of 'revolutionary situations.' El-Ghobashy emphasizes the chaotic power dynamics at play in Tahrir Square and the importance of documenting narratives in a counter-revolutionary context. She also explores how Egypt's administrative courts allow citizens to challenge government actions, reflecting broader political dynamics.
