DESCRIPTION:$20.00\n\nIn 2011, Cairo's Tahrir Square commanded the attention of the 
 world as the Egyptian people demanded their freedom. At the time, President 
 Barack Obama famously declared: “Egyptians have inspired us, they have 
 changed the world.” But, half a decade later, is this the whole 
 story?\n\nThe Arab World's most populous nation remains as volatile as ever 
 and thoroughly enmeshed with a broader moment of political turbulence that 
 is unfolding across the globe. In his new book, "The Egyptians: A Radical 
 Story," former Egypt Correspondent for the Guardian, Jack Shenker, examines 
 the roots of Egypt’s revolution, arguing for a much more nuanced, and 
 far-reaching view of the forces that are reshaping the region. Egypt’s 
 revolutionary turmoil has never just been about Mubarak, or his successors, 
 or elections, says Shenker. It is not merely a civil war between Islamists 
 and secularists, nor a fight between backwardness and modernity. Underlying 
 it all, the unrest is about economically marginalized citizens muscling 
 their way onto the political stage to demand sovereignty over domains 
 previously closed to them: factories and urban streets, the houses they 
 live in, the food they eat and the water they drink. The real story is more 
 complicated and, ultimately, more hopeful.\n\nSPEAKER:\nJack
