Reviews

Kira Jumetas carefully researched monograph, Contesting the Repressive State, provides a compelling narrative about why ordinary Egyptians took to the streets in 2011 as well as how the protest movement eventually lost momentum. Lisa Blaydes -author of Election and Distributive Politics in Mubarakas Egypt and State of Repression: Iraq under Saddam Hussein


By examining the emotions and rationale of the participants, Professor Jumet has breathed life into the academic study of Egypt's 2011 revolution. This is a fascinating review of events that confounded many experts, including my colleagues in the State Department. Days before the revolution, I was telling my friends in Cairo, 'It can't happen here'- yet it did- and Jumet explains why. --Edward S. Walker, Jr., Former US Ambassador to Egypt and the UAE Kira D. Jumet combines a sophisticated understanding of social movement theory with the kind of fingertip feel for Egypt and its people that can only come from years of in-depth fieldwork. Contesting the Repressive State is an important contribution to our understandings of Egyptian politics, the Arab Spring, and the dynamics of protest. --Tarek Masoud, Sultan of Oman Professor of International Relations, Harvard University Drawing on rich ethnographic research, Kira D. Jumet offers a vivid and theoretically astute, yet empirically grounded, contribution that illuminates the dynamics of the Egyptian uprising specifically as well as the dynamics of protest in general. --Eva Bellin, Myra and Robert Kraft Professor of Arab Politics, Brandeis University
