Contents Blogging as cyberactivism: introductory themes -- Political blogging: (re)envisioning civic engagement and citizen journalism -- The Arab political blogosphere: the case of Egypt -- Blogging on violations of human rights and limitations on freedom -- Blogging on governmental corruption -- The future of political blogging in Egypt: looking ahead Summary This book sheds light on the growing phenomenon of cyberactivism in the Arab world, with a special focus on the Egyptian political blogosphere and its role in paving the way to democratization and socio-political change in Egypt, which culminated in Egypt's historical popular revolution on Jan. 25, 2011.
