A book as a tribute to the Egyptian Revolution’s martyrs.
Denis Dailleux relates and records the upheaval and the hopes of the Egyptian civil society, which from Tahrir Square and its surroundings, are determined not to let anyone steal their revolution.
Through his photographs, Denis Dailleux pays tribute to the martyrs, these men and women – often young – who lost their lives during the Egyptian revolution of 28 January 2011, victims of police violence and pro-Mubarak militias. Mahmoud Farag and Abdellah Taïa recount the lives of the deceased and the nature of their commitment based on the testimonies of their loved ones.
“I believe in that. I want to believe that the life of Arabs and their relationship to themselves have been changed. They have the word. They have the streets. They have the means to express and claim their rights. Their dreams. Their desire for justice and dignity. Their willingness to become free citizens, individuals protected by law. Far from submission. In the movement. The debate. Around freedom. His own. The others’. The Arab world is currently a great laboratory for all these ideas.” (Abdellah Taïa)
