Most of the existing literature on the 1977 Bread Riots focuses on the protests as an episode in larger national and international political and economic waves of change, either as the end of an era of political mobilization in Egypt, or the beginning of an era of anti-neoliberal struggles in the region and wider world. Moreover, most of the literature focuses on Cairo. Seeking to diverge from the trend even further, this article focuses on the memory of the 1977 uprising in the city of Suez, which it explores through the perspectives of leftist activists and others. It aims to understand how the people of Suez who witnessed and participated in the 1977 protests remember and interpret the event today, asking what memory of the uprising means politically on a local level. By exploring the memory of the 1977 protests in Suez, this article traces their effects on the lives of the selected interlocutors, and also on their political actions and interpretations. It follows three memory fragments of the 1977 protests in Suez from three different vantage points: the position of people who were members of political organizations before the protests; the traces of protests in Suez's streets; and the position of those who witnessed the protests from home.

纪念 1977 年苏伊士面包骚乱：抵抗的碎片和幽灵

大多数关于 1977 年面包暴动的现有文献都将抗议视为更大的国家和国际政治和经济变革浪潮中的一个插曲，要么是埃及政治动员时代的结束，要么是反抗时代的开始。 -该地区和更广泛世界的新自由主义斗争。此外，大多数文献都集中在开罗。为了进一步偏离这一趋势，本文着重于对 1977 年苏伊士市起义的记忆，并通过左翼活动家和其他人的视角进行探讨。它旨在了解目睹和参与 1977 年抗议活动的苏伊士人民如何记住和解释今天的事件，询问对起义的记忆在地方层面上的政治意义。通过探索 1977 年苏伊士抗议活动的记忆，本文追溯了它们对选定对话者生活的影响，以及对他们的政治行动和解释的影响。它从三个不同的角度跟踪了 1977 年苏伊士抗议活动的三个记忆片段：抗议前政治组织成员的地位；苏伊士街头抗议的痕迹；以及在家中目睹抗议活动的人的立场。
