This is an event to launch Anticolonial Afterlives in Egypt: The Politics of Hegemony, authored by Sara Salem and published in 2020 by Cambridge University Press. Anticolonial Afterlives explores Egypt’s first postcolonial project through an imagined conversation between Antonio Gramsci and Frantz Fanon, two foundational theorists of anti-capitalism and anticolonialism, thinking through questions of decolonisation, capitalism, resistance, and mastery.
