The Field Between ·

The audio quality is lacking because SOMEONE left their microphone in NYC. In fact, it was so bad that I had to completely cut the first 10 minutes, which is sad because we had some good riffs about Dubai.

We were so lucky to have Rusha Latif, author of Tahrir's Youth: Leaders of A Leaderless Revolution, speak to us for this special episode which coincides with the 15 year anniversary of the Egyptian revolution that resulted in the removal of dictator Hosni Mubarak. Rusha's book provides an intimate account of the years, months, weeks, and days leading up to the revolution, and focuses on the perspectives of youth leaders. Her work challenges the notion that Egypt's revolution was a spontaneous and

We end on a quick reflection on the Mamdani inauguration.
