Publication of La philosophie de la révolution de Gamal Abdel Nasser entre questions nationale, sociale et culturelle (Gamal Abdel Nasser's philosophy of revolution between national, social and cultural issues)
1 July 2022
On July 23, 1952, the Free Officers took power in Egypt. Between August 1953 and January 1954, Gamal Abdel Nasser wrote three newspaper articles entitled The Philosophy of the Revolution. In them, he asserted that the army's movement was not a coup d'état but a revolution.
Contenu central
The first part of the present work offers a critical edition in Arabic of these three articles, as well as an original critical translation into French. The second part of the book approaches The Philosophy of the Revolution in two ways. On the one hand, the birth and fortunes of this now-famous text are placed in their historical context. On the other, the text is analyzed in such a way as to provide food for thought on the place of social justice and culture within national liberation struggles.
The overall ambition is to participate in the still incomplete disappearance of the colonial legacy in both post-colonial and post-imperial nation-states.
