It's Not Your Fault: A Book Launch and Signing

Join us for a book launch and signing of the newly released book It's Not Your Fault: Five New Plays on Sexual Harassment in Egypt, co-authored by AUC Faculty, Jilian Campana and Dina Amin, and The Cairo Writers Lab. 

These five original short plays, written by Egyptian students from the American mark the first published plays in Egypt that deal directly with sexual harassment. This collection breaks social taboos by offering dramatic texts that reflect the reality of survivors of sexual harassment from multiple perspectives—families and couples, bystanders, victims and perpetrators, men and women. Accompanied by narrative commentary that places the events in context, these plays and the issues they explore seek to challenge dominant perceptions about sexual harassment in the region and to shine a light on the power imbalances and disparities that give rise to it.

The event is open to the public and will be live-streamed on AUC Press' Facebook Page.
