Description
Life as Politics: How Ordinary People Change the Middle East (Second Edition) Asef Bayat's groundbreaking study challenges common perceptions of the Muslim Middle East, revealing how ordinary people make meaningful change through everyday actions. First published in 2011, just months before the Arab Spring swept across the region, this book provides a timely and prophetic insight into the ongoing acts of protest, practice, and direct action that are shaping the Middle East. The second edition includes three new chapters on the Arab Spring and Iran's Green Movement, bringing the book fully up to date with recent events. At its heart, Life as Politics is a study of agency in times of constraint, highlighting how millions of people across the region are creating new social spaces to make their voices heard. This important contribution to global debates over social movements and social change makes for compelling reading.
