Using the work of Antonio Gramsci and Frantz Fanon, two foundational theorists of anti-capitalism and anticolonialism, this book is an interdisciplinary exploration of the afterlives of Egypt's moment of decolonization and how they reverberate into the present. 'In weaving postcolonial critique with Marxist theory and vice versa, Salem vividly patterns anti-colonial struggle in its neo-liberal afterlives. This book provides a masterclass in expansive theorizing and substantive inquiry.' Robbie Shilliam, Johns Hopkins University
