Description:

The 2011 images from Tahrir Square are indelible: hundreds of thousands of people ushering in a new political era in the Middle East. Or so it seemed. Today, true democracy in Egypt is a distant dream. Over the last decade, anthropologist Jessica Winegar has witnessed the transformations up close. One of our foremost experts on Egypt, the Northwestern University professor shares her analysis of the Arab Spring and its surprisingly personal aftermath.
