Abstract
The enthusiasm generated by the remarkable success of the Tahrīr demonstrators to overthrow a powerful ruler, and subsequently the spreading disillusionments as Islamists and generals filled the vacuum created by the rebels-inspiring a lively discussion among Egyptians on the place of revolutions in their political life. In newspaper columns, in the social media, and also in several books, discussants went back to previous chapters in Egypt’s modern history-mostly to the events of 1919 and 1952-seeking to find meaning in the successive upheavals that have swept over the country in the last hundred years and hopefully derive reassurance from these past experiences. “The contestation over the significance of these events,” wrote Dina Shehata, “continues to define the national debate in Egypt.” 1.
