State Crime, Digital Technology and Civil Resistance is a powerful account of how the Mosireen Collective used media to expose repression and preserve revolutionary memory. Saeb Kasm weaves together theory and lived struggle to show how digital resistance challenges authoritarianism and sustains the fight for justice. Hossam el-Hamalawy, activist scholar of the Egyptian military and policing A wonderful tribute to the Egyptian Revolution and its many martyrs, and an astute analysis of the legacy of Mosireen, the most active, fearless, innovative and consequential collective to be born during that turbulent period of history. Mona Baker, Affiliate Professor, University of Oslo, Norway; Editor of Translating Dissent: Voices From and With the Egyptian Revolution This book takes the burgeoning field of state crime studies and blasts it into the stratosphere of publicly crucial scholarship. For those who witnessed Mosireen in action during the revolutionary period, it's impossible not to see it as a well-spring for today's creative activism around the Gaza genocide. Kasm's detailed, sensitive accounting of its courageous unmasking of the post-2011 Egyptian state is a signal addition to scholarship on the Arab Spring, and the present struggles against global authoritarianism. Mark LeVine, Professor of Modern Middle Eastern History, University of California, Irvine In State Crime, Digital Technology and Civil Resistance, Saeb Kasm carefully traces the strategies and impact of the Mosireen Collective in making visible authoritarian practices in post-2011 Egypt. Blending digital ethnography, visual analysis, and framing theory, the book offers powerful insights on digital activism and accountability.

With the global rise of authoritarianism, this contribution is especially timely and significant. Anita Gohdes, Professor of International and Cyber Security, Hertie School, Berlin; Author of Repression in the Digital Age Saeb Kasm's powerful work captures and confronts a critical moment in the development of citizen journalism. This book, focusing on the heart of the Arab Spring in Egypt, engages directly with those courageous young voices who reported and documented state violence, civil uprising and the repression it elicited. Beautifully written and meticulously researched, Kasm's book is a testament to the spirit of truth and the power of civil society to deliver that truth.
