FOlks, Xiaolin Zhuo, me, Justine Yu have just published the abovenamed article in the July 2011 Peace Magazine. http://www.peacemagazine.org/archive/v27n3p06.htm It discusses the many ways in which ICTs did -- and did not -- facilitate the Jan-Feb 2011 Egyptian revolt. It argues that Facebook etc provided a sense of modernity, and shows some of the external connections that the activists had years before the revolt. It also does a Tilly-esque discussion of internal networks -- this was NOT a spontaneous gathering of 1M Egyptians in Tahrir Square. And we carefully call it a Revolt, and not a Revolution (too premature to say that) or the newspaper-hype "Arab Spring" (premature in circumstances and calendar in January-Feb 2011??) The colour pix in the magazine are great (thank you Zeynep Tufekci and Karim Marold). Alas, Peace Magazine's own website doesn't show them -- text only. But if you ask nicely, we'll send you a full pdf, complete with pix. Email first author Jo-Lynn Zhuo <zhuo.jolin@gmail.com>, (It's her and Justine's first publication, btw.)
