| Summary |
Yasmine El Rashidi wrote The Battle for Egypt - Dispatches from the Revolution in which she gives a very personal account of events on the street that led to the overthrow of Mubarak.This gives the context for a freewheeling conversation about her vote in support of the Muslim Brotherhood, the democratically elected but disastrous reign of Morsi and the subsequent military coup that removed him.El Rashidi is interesting as she struggles with an analysis of her own political naivety, why Morsi's record of human rights abuses were worse than under Mubarak; and the current situation - an economy and a society in free fall.Yasmine is in conversation with ABC Foreign Correspondent's Sophie McNeill at this year's Sydney Writers' Festival |
