[GPSCC-chat] Sharat Lin talk: Nonviolence in the Egyptian Revolution: Sat. Apr 28th 2-4pm

[Drew]

Last year Dr. Lin gave an excellent talk on his personal observation of the Arab Spring 
events in Egypt.  He just visited again and has an update report. Please circulate this invitation widely.

Nonviolence in the Egyptian Revolution
 
The popular uprising in 
Egypt has unleashed a revolutionary process in which the military, 
business elites, workers, secular youth, and advocates of political 
Islam have stakes. The roots of the uprising provide critical clues to 
prospects for democratic reforms, economic changes and the struggles 
that lie ahead. Does the Egyptian experience provide new role models for nonviolent protest, "leaderless" movements, and new media?
 
Dr. Sharat G. Lin is president of the San Jose Peace and Justice Center. He writes on global political economy, the Middle East, labor migration, and public health, and has lived for many years 
in the Arab Middle East, and most recently has witnessed the Egyptian 
Revolution before, during, and after the initial uprising.
