Hardback. Condition: New. Both a symbol of the Mubarak government's power and a component in its construction of national identity, football served as fertile ground for Egyptians to confront the regime's overthrow during the 2011 revolution. With the help of the state, appreciation for football in Egypt peaked in the late 2000s. Yet after Mubarak fell, fans questioned their previous support, calling for a reformed football for a new, postrevolutionary nation.In Egypt's Football Revolution, Carl Rommel examines the politics of football as a space for ordinary Egyptians and state forces to negotiate a masculine Egyptian chauvinism. Basing his discussion on several years of fieldwork with fans, players, journalists, and coaches, he investigates the increasing attention paid to football during the Mubarak era; its demise with the 2011 uprisings and 2012 Port Said massacre, which left seventy-two fans dead; and its recent rehabilitation. Cairo's highly organized and dedicated Ultras fans became a key revolutionary force through their antiregime activism, challenging earlier styles of fandom and making visible entrenched ties between sport and politics. As the appeal of football burst, alternative conceptions of masculinity, emotion, and politics came to the fore to demand or prevent revolution and reform.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - An intimate portrayal of masculinity in Egypt from lively, grounded, and fresh perspectivesBased on long-term research in Cairo and Alexandria and grounded in ethnographic stories and intimate portrayals,Economies of the Male Bodytakes up masculinity in Egypt from an important new angle: male bodies in conditions of overwork, illness, as well as pleasure and recreation.The contributors to this volume center bottom-up everyday perspectives, in which the men appear as real flesh-and-blood human beings, embodying both their society's gendered ideals as well as their own personal trajectories and idiosyncrasies. They set out to substantiate how underlying economic and social conditions undermine non-elite men's ability to eat a varied diet, get proper rest, participate in sports, be loving and present husbands, and, more generally, lead rich, full, and worthwhile lives.Economies of the Male Bodyshows how the health of Egyptian men, many of whom are overweight and overworked, and Egypt's grim health statistics of high premature male mortality among men of lower socioeconomic classes should be read not as a result of substandard awareness among the population, but as a record of visceral inequalities generated by late capitalism and a global economic system that disproportionately burdens underprivileged bodies.Contributors:Carl Rommel, Uppsala University, Uppsala, SwedenKarin Ahlberg, Stockholm University, Stockholm Sweden and Universität Bremen, Bremen GermanyMariz Kelada, American University of Beirut, Beirut, LebanonMustafa Abdalla, The Robert Koch Institute, Berlin, GermanyYoussef Ramez Boktor, The City University of New York, New York, USANoha Fikry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.…
