This book links two seminal moments in Egypt's history - the Revolution of 25th January 2011 and the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser - through various cultural manifestations. It conceives the concept of "collective dreaming" to map out the subliminal feeling which runs deep through experiences of socially transformative moments. The author has extensively studied the structure of feelings that encompasses the experiences not only of activist minorities but the broader mass of revolutionary movements. In certain historical moments, hopes and aspirations bind together millions of people from all walks of life: students, workers, farmers, and middle-class professionals. Nagaty calls this phenomenon the "collective dream", something which has been carried through generations of Egyptians. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of social movement studies, cultural studies and cultural sociology. 

Sarah Nagaty holds a PhD in Cultural Studies from the UCP, Lisbon and the University of Copenhagen, having previously been a researcher at the Library of Alexandria (Egypt). She has taught graduate courses on Modern Egypt and Critical Theory. Nagaty believes that academic research should articulate what otherwise eludes coherent expression.
