Recenzii

“The Intellectual and the People is a rich and successful effort at thinking about the aesthetics of radical politics in Egyptian literature and culture. … It is also a call for and a most welcome example of how to engage in an interdisciplinary discussion with comparative literature and political theory.” (Adélie Chevée, Contemporary Levant, Vol 2 (2), October, 2017)
