Biography
Dina Hosni is Lecturer, Academy of Liberal Arts, American University in Cairo.
"The book documents quite in detail the emergence of a post-Islamist trend in Egypt after the revolution of 2011 by examining the discursive and behavioral trajectories of a group of young Muslim females. In doing so, the work presents some interesting discussions about the trajectory and ideological package of Islamism and its possible pathways towards post-Islamism."
—Asef Bayat, Professor of Sociology and Middle East Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
