Recenzii
Holmes has written a useful and extremely fine-grained analysis...Holmes served as a faculty member at the American University in Cairo during most of the events she analyzes, and the work is enriched by the author's eyewitness experience of Egyptian turmoil and her interviews of numerous participants in revolutionary activity.
Among the myriad examinations of Egypt's historic January 25th Revolution and its aftermath, Coups and Revolutions stands out for its cogent empirical analysis. Moving beyond the debates on authoritarianism, Dr. Holmes provides an insightful theoretical frame for comprehending the waves of revolutions and counter-revolutions in Egyptians' continual quest for democracy.
Coups and Revolutions is one of the best, most detailed accounts of how the counterrevolution managed to crush the Egyptian people's aspirations for political and social change. It is essential reading for scholars and revolutionaries alike to understand what went wrong with the revolt that shook the region ten years ago.
In Coups and Revolutions, Holmes analyzes the recent waves of social mobilization in Egypt as a historical process. In doing so, she takes the reader on a journey to understanding the dynamic processes with which coups, revolutions, and counter-coups evolve and create their counter-currents. By drawing on extensive field work and interviews, Holmes offers a rich account of this trend as well as the micro-processes at play throughout Egyptian politics and society since 2011. This rich analysis adds an important lens to both the literature and the current debates on social movements and mass mobilization.
For someone whose life was shaped by Egypt's revolutions and coups, Holmes' detailed account of—and insights into—Egypt's tumultuous years is both painful and illuminating.
In Coups and Revolutions, Amy Austin Holmes not only advances our knowledge of the multi-phase 2011-13 revolutionary upheavals in Egypt, but also contributes to theorization about revolution by introducing the concept of 'coup from below' which can be applied to other cases.ÂHer book belongs on the syllabi for courses on revolution and on Middle Eastern politics.
In contesting the pervasive juxtaposition of the opposition elite with the regime elite, Holmes deploys a class lens that brings them together as one ruling political/financial bloc. Through this lens, she not only explains the reluctance of the working and middle-class networks that mobilized against Mubarak, Morsi, and the transitional military order between them to associate themselves with the opposition elite, but also makes sense of what faultily appeared as a paradoxical turnaround in the agenda of the contentious movement when this elite endorsed the coup and its crackdown on dissent.
Holmes—who has not only done superb scholarship, but suffered persecution by the Sisi regime for her efforts—has done revolution and Middle Eastern studies an invaluable service. Her book should remain essential reading as the battle for Egypt's future continues.
In Coups and Revolutions, Holmes turns a fresh lens on the Egyptian uprisings. Framing recent waves of social mobilization in Egypt as a historical process, she offers a detailed account of the multiple, distinct moments of protest the country has witnessed between 2011 and 2018. Along the way, we learn much about the micro-dynamics of the revolutionary process and the ways in which coups, revolutions, and counter-coups can evolve symbiotically."
Amy Austin Holmes' take on Egypt's 2013 coup and subsequent repression is original as well as compelling, even for readers who have followed events in the country closely. Her ethnographic research on social movements including Tamarod and careful analysis of why the military crushed not only the Muslim Brotherhood but all forms of popular mobilization add much to the literature on coups and counter revolutions in general, as well as on contemporary Egypt
Amy Austin Holmes has written an empirically rich book on the Egyptian revolutionary uprising of 2011 and its aftermath. Her book is grounded in interviews with activists, her own participation in many of the events she describes, and contemporary video and journalist accounts. Holmes offers a novel and provocative idea for comprehending the ouster of Mohamed Morsi: a coup from below. This will undoubtedly spark debate among scholars of social movements, revolutionary change, and contemporary Egyptian politics
Coups and Revolutions masterfully analyzes the waves of revolution and counterrevolution in Egypt between 2011 and 2018. Holmes' analysis rests upon both a close familiarity with events in Egypt and a nuanced deployment of social-scientific theories of coups and revolutions. Her novel concept of 'coup from below' will surely generate much discussion and debate. Read this book to understand why and how a promising revolution was ruthlessly crushed
