Miroku Nemeth’s Reviews > Tahrir's Youth: Leaders of a Leaderless Revolution > Status Update

With children who are half Nubian Egyptian, this history is personal to me. Rusha Latif’s Tahrir’s Youth is a rare and extraordinarily valuable English-language account that dismantles Western myths of the 2011 Tahrir uprising as a spontaneous “social media revolution” and instead situates it within decades of resistance, political formation, organizing networks, and Egypt’s ongoing struggle for justice. Powerful.
