Writings from Egypt’s Incarcerated

My collaboration with Collective Antigone finally is out, our book The book is a groundbreaking collection of writings by political prisoners in Egypt, offering a unique lens on the global rise of authoritarianism during the last decade.

This book contains letters, poetry, and art produced by Egypt’s incarcerated from the eruption of the January 25, 2011, uprising. Some are by journalists, lawyers, activists, and artists imprisoned for expressing their opposition to Egypt’s authoritarian order; I wrote the foreword for the book where the afterword is written by dear Kenyan literary giant Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o.
