"Revolution Squared is an exciting book that presents a new and insightful framework for understanding the 2011 uprising in Egypt and its aftermath. Atef Shahat Said's first-person narratives and astute sociological analysis offer a compelling perspective on the organization and longue durée of the revolutionary process. This is absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary uprisings, in Egypt and beyond."–Jessica Winegar, author of "Creative Reckonings: The Politics of Art and Culture in Contemporary Egypt"
