      • Mary Abouchaar

        Every story describes a wish that Tyler makes, the steps he takes to obtain it, and the reason why he gladly grants it to a dear one. In "Tyler's Promised Gift" Tyler works hard to obey his mother's commands in anticipation of receiving his promised 'little red car". At his birthday party he offers the car to a younger, sad, and crying guest. In "Tyler's Baby Sister" Tyler tries to get his mother to focus her attention again on him instead of on his baby sister, Tia. Tyler finally realizes that helping his mother to give more care to Tia gave him the most satisfaction. In "Tyler's Acting Practice" Tyler spends hours perfecting his aim when using a slingshot. When he was finally ready to play the part of David in the school play "David and Goliath", he noticed that his friend Joel, who was new to the school this year, was being bullied and excluded from all games because he was missing the net whenever he tried to shoot a basketball. Heroically, Tyler offers the role of David to Joel when he learns that Joel excels at aiming pebbles with his slingshot. His plan to reverse the students' disrespect towards Joel succeeded when everyone in the school auditorium cheered Joel for his perfect aim at the helmet of Goliath. In "Tyler's Lunchbox Treat", Tyler could hardly wait for lunch break to bite into the krispy marshmallow treat his mother had baked for him.  When Tyler discovers that the sandwich of his lunch companion was missing, and that he couldn't share his peanut butter sandwich with him because his companion was allergic to peanuts, Tyler gives him his krispy marshmallow square. Tyler always feels like a winner at the end, and not at all a loser. Children and parents are happy to arrive at the ending of each story.

      • January Revolution: Critic Vision

        January Revolution: Critic Vision

        by Amr Abdelrahman, Amr Adly, Mahmoud Hadhood and Aly El-Raggal

        This book looks through the question of “the historical horizon of January Revolution”; namely it follows the roots and the characteristics of the main and active powers in the revolution; studying their histories before 2011 to find out the limits of their potentials and historical horizon.  The book supposes that the revolution did not happen by coincidence. It has not evoluted and progressed, then retreated and defeated at random. This is understood and self-evident. But in addition to, and based on, this axiom; the four authors present what can be described as the DNA profiling of the main actors in January, the DNA profiling that reveals the genetic trait, namely defines the nature and limits of options.  For example, the new capitalism that emerged in the late 1970s and participated in the governance one way or another under the umbrella of the project of power inheritance to Gamal Mubarak, whose spearhead was the Committee of Policies in the National Democratic Party – this capitalism rushed to put forth its demands and try to impose them. So, it merged in this context, due to the nature of the Egyptian political sphere, in a project of power inheritance with an authoritarian nature. This exactly what played a critical role in defining its situations and options after January.         Another example is the Muslim Brothers, who waged the turbulence of the revolution carrying a long history of “liability to otherness”, namely to isolation and marginalization as “others” that can be depicted -as said in a song- “they are people and we are people”. Those isolated Brothers, as opposite to the pressing powers to isolate them, entered in a mutual trajectory of exclusion and disengagement that ended with the catastrophic results we have witnessed. That was also the case with the civil powers that introspected practices and crystalized a discourse of “wholly national” nature that included in its combination what allowed later the explosion of “statehood” that defined the period after June 2013. At all these levels and fields, the book reveals the roots of January’s victories and defeats in the history previous to 2011, not with the logic of “historical determinism” but with the logic of potentials whose limits can be understood only through the deconstruction of the context and the history.

      • The Egyptian Economy in the 21st Century

        The Egyptian Economy in the 21st Century

        by Wael Gamal, Sameh Naguib, Mohamed Gad, Mohamed Moslem, Ashraf Hussein, Salma Hussein, Heba Khalil, Amr Adly, Mohamed Sultan and Dina Makram Ebeid

        The dominant discourse in economy has a double danger. In addition to its expression, as all dominant discourses, of the interests of prevailing social powers, excluding intentionally the other insights and alternatives; it presents itself, in this case specifically, as an unquestionable technique scientific discourse; because it is based on disciplined accounts and undoubtable mathematical equations. This exactly what this book aspires to expose. For the dominant economic discourse here and everywhere is an ideological discourse saturated with social prejudices, though its coverage with supposed sacristy of numbers and mathematical equations. Along ten chapters, the book presents an analytical panorama of the Egyptian economy; from the income distribution to the international compactivity, from the investment and formation of new capitalists of favouritism to the distribution of income and wealth, from trade to debts, and from conditions of clerks to the monetary policy. All that comes out of a premise that sees the economic process not as a technical subject only for experts, but as a subject of social conflict where property patterns are linked to the patterns of distributing profits and wealth, where policies are laid out of interests, and where alternatives are offered as an expression of ambitions to change not only policies, but the structures of property and the patterns of administration.
