Description
Quite original. This book offers an authoritative account of events linked to the Arab Spring. To speak about country-specific dynamics, the coeditors have compiled a magnificent set of authors. Most impressive is that the chapters capture rich descriptive accounts of events that illuminate the political realities surrounding the events of the Arab Spring. -- Amaney A. Jamal, Princeton University

Reviews
The volume is a welcome contribution to the literature on contentious politics and mobilization and should be equally valuable for university courses and scholars working on political sociology. -- Jacob Hoigilt American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences This volume will have a longer shelf life than many volumes about the uprisings because of its focus on providing a rich empirical context... It will be of interest to a broad readership and will be terrific in undergrad courses-I intend to use it myself... I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in a deeper understanding of the uprisings, and particularly their genesis. -- Jillian Schwedler Middle East Journal
