List of Interviews Notes BibliographyReviewsWith his work about the April 6 Youth Movement Ali Sonay describes a new social movement type. The mobilization strategies are strongly linked to everyday life of the activists; the organizational forms are fluid, informal and flexible; ideologically the movement has a cross-ideological nature, or anti- ideological nature. The form of articulations are globalized. The marginalized mode of resource mobilization results both in the strengths and weaknesses in the functioning of such movements. It is perhaps of these factors why this new movement type can spark revolutions in many cases but cannot maintain a revolution until the very end. - Rachid Ouaissa, Professor, Center for Middle and Middle East Studies, Philipps-Universitat Marburg, Ali Sonay's Making Revolution in Egypt is a fascinating anatomy of a 21st century youth movement. By tracing the genesis and transformation of the 6th of April Youth Movement in Egypt from a Facebook page, to a revolutionary group, to an on-the-ground movement, Sonay raises timely questions about the contentious and changing nature of social movements in this global age of uprisings. - Linda Herrera, Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
