Here are Give Me Something To Read’s highlights of the year. This list is comprised of my favourites and reader favourites, selected from articles posted here in 2011 (limited to those originally published in 2011).

What follows are some of the best longreads I’ve read this year online this. First up: ‘Revolution Revivde: Egyptian Diary, Part One’ courtesy of the fantastic Granta magazine. This is a brilliantly observed piece on the continued revolution in Egypt leading up to the first round of elections earlier this month. Read Part Two also!
Anti-colonialist thinker, writer and revolutionary Frantz Fanon died fifty years ago today, on December 6, 1961. Verso books have shared an extract from Jean-Paul Sartre’s preface to Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth.
