The Naked Blogger of Cairo is on The Monkey Cage Blog's summer reading list about the Middle East! "Marwan Kraidy’s “The Naked Blogger of Cairo: Creative Insurgency in the Arab World” is a deep dive into the cultural politics of the Arab uprisings. While the occasional theoretical jargon may at times be off-putting to the general reader, Kraidy’s sharp insights and rich descriptions of a new Arab generation’s irrepressible creative urges will amply reward the effort. Reading Kraidy’s accounts of the politically charted cultural gambits of wired Arab youth rekindles some of the seemingly lost spirit of the early days of the Arab uprisings and offers hope for the future."
