Abstract

This chapter is based on fieldresearch carried out in the Sohag Governorate, one of the poorest area in Egypt. It sheds light on the role of its inhabitants - young women and men first and foremost - in the context of the historical dynamics that have affected the country in recent years. It aims to provide new theoretical and empirical tools in order to de-simplify what in Europe and in the United States is commonly perceived as an “Egyptian Awakening” (Pollack & Byman, 2011), an Orientalist cliché implying that millions of people in the Arab world were “sleeping”.
