Democratically elected president Mohammad Morsi lasted only a year before he was forced from power to be replaced by precisely the kind of authoritarianism protestors had been railing against in January 2011. Paradoxically, this turn of events was encouraged by the same liberal activists and intelligentsia who'd pushed for progressive reform under Mubarak. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume analyses how such a key contingent of Egyptian liberals came to develop outright \u003ci\u003eilliberal\u003c\/i\u003e tendencies.
