In this intriguing memoir, British born Rosemary Sabet moves back and forth between her past as a child growing up in post war London and her present involvement in the Egyptian revolution. The events in Tahrir Square, Cairo, trigger her memory as she questions what quirks of fate brought her to participate in such an unprecedented, momentous uprising. As we follow the twists and turns and churning uncertainty of Egypt’s revolution from its outset on January 25th 2011 until the ambivalent celebration one year later the author, fuelled by passion, recounts her personal involvement in the uprising, in which she experienced periods of great fear and disappointment intermingled with moments of courage and triumph. In a series of anecdotes, the reader is taken on a nostalgic journey of the author’s carefree childhood, to her unconventional experiences abroad as a young girl in the fifties. With raw and honest insight, Sabet remembers London’s swinging sixties and reveals some of her wickedly funny amorous escapades. We follow her to Rome during the era of the dolce vita where she eventually meets and marries her Egyptian husband. They move to Southern Yemen where she begins to encounter the cultural challenges so imbued in the Middle East, and from where she is propelled to nearly four decades of Egypt’s turbulent history.

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.

“This book is a page turner from beginning to end. The stories are both relatable, and hysterical, with dead on advice that make you go hmmmm” - Karim Orange, Eco activist/ Huffington Post Blogger “Abdul Majid’s Ignorance is Contagious is vividly alive with great stories, plenty of laughs, and hard-won life lessons. Young people will learn from it, and so will their parents.” -Ronald K. Fried, author of “My Father’s Fighter” “Sometimes wisdom comes from the most unlikely and humorous of places” —Amy Linden, Arts Critic “Like its author, Ignorance is Contagious is profane, funny and heartfelt. This is a memorable collection of modern-day fables that are real and shed light on how we live today.” —Rodney Stringfellow, Screenwriter and Educator “ABDUL MAJID is able to capture the spoken word in writing. His writing style is natural with flow and above all his wit is wise.” —Emily Cohen, Television Producer “Fresh, innovative, enlightening, and (what I love most) comical . . . . Ignorance Is Contagious, offers alternative solutions for those situations when keeping it real goes wrong” —Pretty Ricki Fontaine, Comedian
