[URBANTH-L] ANN: Global Dreams: Class, Gender and Public Space in Cosmopolitan Cairo

[Anouk de Koning]

Dear colleagues,

I am happy to announce the release of my book Global Dreams: Class, Gender and Public Space in Cosmopolitan Cairo (AUC Press 2009). 

Global Dreams examines Cairo's experience of economic liberalization in an era
of globalization. This study asks what happened to a postcolonial middle class
that was once the carrier of national aspirations and dreams. It
explores how young middle-class professionals navigate Cairo's
increasingly divided landscape and discusses the rise of a young
upper-middle class presence in the work, leisure, and public spaces of
the city.

Best,

Anouk de Koning
