Book English Why I Am Liberal

This is the English translation of the book that comprises articles written by young Egyptian men and women for an essay writing competition titled “Why I am liberal”. Every one of the essays contains a unique and intriguing contribution to the Egyptian liberal discourse. The texts provide an insight how young Egyptians define liberalism, how liberal ideas have had an impact on their lives and how – on a more general level – young Egyptians believe liberalism could change in a positive manner the future of their country. Liberalism, this book documents, is very much alive in the minds (and the hearts) of the Egyptian youth.
