History often reaches us in visual forms: documents, books, images, monuments, and so forth. But the experiences of past people encompassed all of the human senses. Visceral moments do not always have a verbal dimension, and our most indelible memories are often tied to touch, smell, and sound. In this mini-series, we explore the sonic history of modern Egypt through four episodes about pivotal moments in Egypt's political history. In doing so, we use sound as a gateway onto the experiences of ordinary Egyptians whose voices have often been excluded from the sources and dominant narratives of academic history.
