How do Egyptian Marxists, situated in exile and the political underground, materialize their theoretical and practical endeavors since the 2011 Revolution and subsequent counterrevolution? At the nexus of anthropology and political science, Helena Zohdi offers insights into the daily modes of action and knowledge production of Egyptian Revolutionary Socialists who continue to strive for revolutionary change despite all odds. Hereby a vast array of questions is raised, be it on the relationship between theory and practice, the translation of Marxism across time and space, contested political alliances, conceptualizations of propaganda and revolutionary counterpropaganda, or the meaning of universality. These questions not only challenge discursive notions of Eurocentrism but also, more fundamentally, relations to state power.
