"Marwan Kraidy, the University of Pennsylvania’s Anthony Shadid Chair in Global Media, Politics, and Culture and Director of the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication, recently received the Robert P. Hart Outstanding Book Award from the National Communication Association (NCA) for his 10th book, The Naked Blogger of Cairo: Creative Insurgency in the Arab World. The book examines the use of the human body in rebellion and uncovers the creative insurgency at the heart of the Arab uprisings.
Dr. Kraidy is the first scholar to win the Hart Award twice, having first received it in 2011 for his book, Reality Television and Arab Politics: Contention in Public Life."
