The aim proposed beyond the monograph has to do with global markets, and how Egypt navigates the pulls originating in the global south and in the global north.
What caught my eye as I was reading this sketch was the theoretical framework that is being used. I am intrigued about the role that Marxism plays in modern day Cairo.
The cover of the book tries to exemplify what Neocolonialism looks like in modern Cairo. The city is portrayed as a busy metropolitan area. The aim of the photo aims to capture interconnectedness, while trying to symbolize economic development.
The design of the text described is done to contrast with the background image. It is centered in a way in which it captures the attention of the reader.
This ethnographic book is about the recrupment of Egyptian youth, done by organizations and in order to have them work in neoliberals markets.
