Free Download David DiMeo, "Committed to Disillusion: Activist Writers in Egypt from the 1950s to the 1980s"

By the 1960s, however, leading Egyptian writers had retreated into disillusionment, producing agonized works that challenged the key assumptions of socially engaged writing. Rather than a rejection of the idea, however, these works offered reinterpretation of committed writing that helped set the stage for activist writers of the present.
