Description

This book examines a key question through the lens of popular culture: Why did the Egyptian people opt to elect in June 2014 a new president (Abdel Fattah al-Sisi); who hails from the military establishment; after toppling a previous military dictator (Hosni Mubarak) with the breakout of the 25 January 2011 Revolution? In order to dissect this question; the author considers the complexity of the relationship between the Egyptian people and their national army; and how popular cultural products play a pivotal role in reinforcing or subverting this relationship. The author takes the reader on a lsquo;journeyrsquo; through crucial historical and political events in Egypt whilst focusing on multi-layered representations of the lsquo;military figurersquo; (the military leader; the heroic soldier; the freedom fighter; the conscript; the martyred soldier; and the Intelligence officer) in a wide range of popular works in literature; film; song; TV drama series; and graffiti art. Mostafa argues that the realm of popular culture in Egypt serves as the lsquo;blood veinsrsquo; which feed the nationrsquo;s perception of its Armed Forces.
