On 25th January this year 50,000 people descended on Tahrir Square in Cairo to protest against president Hosni Mubarak. What followed was an extraordinary 18 days when the square became the focal point for the hopes and fears of Egypt's people, in a situation often joyous but also intense, as the military moved in and Mubarak supporters began to infiltrate the area. Nariman Youssef was in Tahrir Square during this extraordinary gathering. This ebook for the Summer of Unrest series is a gripping diary of that time until Mubarak stepped down on 11th February, which saw the crowds in the square swell to 1 million at one point. As well as an extraordinary insight from within the most important uprising in the Arab Spring, Youssef pulls back to document the signposts to, and issues that fueled, the surge for democratic change in Egypt, exploding myths and uncovering hidden truths as she goes. BRAIN SHOTS is the pre-eminent source for high quality, short-form digital non-fiction. The Summer of Unrest series brings together stellar writers to explore the issues surrounding the austerity measures in the UK, uprisings in the Middle East and the nature of the protest movements springing up all over the world.
The toppling of Hosni Mubarak marked the beginning of a revolutionary restructuring of Egypt’s political and social order. Jeannie Sowers and Chris Toensing bring together updated essays from Middle East Report—the premier journal covering the region—that offer unrivaled analysis of the major social and political trends that underpinned these tumultuous events. Starting with the momentous eighteen days of street protest that compelled Mubarak’s resignation, the volume moves back in time to plumb the state’s strategies of repression and examine the mounting dissent of workers, democracy advocates, anti-war activists, and social and environmental campaigners. Leading analysts of Egypt detail the demographic and economic trends that produced wealth for the few and impoverishment for the many. The collection brings clear-headed, first-hand understanding to bear on a moment of intense hope and uncertainty in the Arab world’s most populous nation.

Buku ini mengungkap konsep non-mainstream mengenai kemampuan survival dari sebuah gerakan civil society komunitas marginal. Biasanya, kemampuan daya tahan hidup (survival) itu merupakan manifestasi kebersatuan dari mereka yang ditekan oleh berbagai pihak. Namun, pada kasus ini, Jamaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) mampu menunjukan bahwa kekuatan civil society mereka terbangun lewat budaya dan nilai-nilai keberadaban (civility) yang dipercaya pengikutnya. Kendati mengalami marginalisasi, JAI sebagai organisasi turut bergerak di beberapa bidang kehidupan masyarakat tanpa menonjolkan atribut-atribut organisasi, misalnya; gerakan untuk pendidikan, kesehatan, dan pemberdayaan sosial-ekonomi. Ironinya, era reformasi justru menunjukkan tingkat tekanan yang lebih kuat, walaupun begitu survivelitas JAI berikut aktivitas kejamaahannya tetap berjalan. Kondisi ini menunjukkan bahwa JAI sebagai komunitas Islam marginal masih mampu mempertahankan keberadaannya sebagai civil society
