Feature File - Censorship in Egypt: Following this summer’s provocative  
file on Syrian censorship, Al-Adab offers an extensive, multiplex study  
of the censorship of creative and political expression in Egypt.  With  
the goal of moving critiques of censorship out of the realm of  
discussion and into the realm of action, 19 leading Egyptian authors,  
journalists, professors, and publishers -- including Sunallah Ibrahim,  
Edward Kharrat, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, Samia Mehrez, Soumaya Ramadan, and  
al-Hajj Mohammad Madbouli -- examine the infamous events and less  
notorious mechanisms of Egyptian censorship.  How does censorship  
affect teaching, reporting, movie-making, thinking, and the writing of  
books yet unwritten?  This 67 page file, packed with candid testimony  
and intensive analysis, has been prepared by Ahmad al-Khamissi.
