What is The Arab Spring: The End of Postcolonialism about?
This pioneering explanation of the Arab Spring will define a new era of thinking about the Middle East. In this landmark book, Hamid Dabashi argues that the uprisings occurring from Morocco to Iran and from Syria to Yemen have been driven by a delayed defiance that signifies no less than the end of postcolonialism. Dabashi shows how the Arab Spring has so radically altered the geopolitics of the region that we must now re-imagine the ‘Middle East’. And, as he brilliantly explains, the permanent revolutionary mood has the potential to liberate not only those societies already ignited but ultimately many others as well.Review"A refreshing, thoughtful and historical reading of the dramatic changes sweeping the Arab world." - Marwan Bishara, senior political analyst, Al Jazeera"Dabashi provides a revolutionary, imaginative and open-ended reading of what will turn out to be a founding moment of the twenty-first century." - Fawwaz Traboulsi, author of A History of Modern Lebanon"This illuminating and beautifully written book, by a brave intellectual and a brilliant scholar who knows the terrain like the back of his hand, traces the genealogy of this unique moment and offers a bird's eye
