When the Arab uprisings broke out in early 2011 and ousted entrenched leaders across the region, social media and the Internet were widely credited with playing a role, particularly when the Egyptian government shut down the Internet and mobile phone networks in an attempt to stave off the unrest there. But what these reports missed were the years of grassroots organizing, digital activism, and political awareness-raising that laid the groundwork for this revolutionary change. Radsch argues that Egyptian bloggers created new social movements using blogging and social media, often at significant personal risk, so that less than a decade after the information revolution came to Egypt they successfully mobilized the overthrow of the state and its president. 7aCitizen journalismzEgypt.2BUEsh 7aSocial movementsxPolitical aspectszEgypt.2BUEsh 7aBlogsxPolitical aspectszEgypt.2BUEsh 7aSocial mediaxPolitical aspectszEgypt.2BUEsh 7aInternetxPolitical aspectszEgypt.2BUEsh  bMASPPSSbBUSBOLcNovember2019  vReading book  2ddccBB  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINcLOWd2019-12-01ePurchaseg1490.00l0o070.4 RADp000044702r2025-07-15 00:00:00v1862.50w2019-12-01yBB
