The Politics of Egypt's Trains, with Pascale Ghazaleh

Pascale Ghazaleh is an assistant professor of history at the American University in Cairo. Last year, she co-wrote "The Politics of Trains" in Jadaliyya, shortly after a train crashed into a school bus in southern Egypt and killed 50 children. I sat down to talk with her about what compelled her to write about the accident in a political context, and she told me that Egypt's fatally faulty trains are no accident.
