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 revolutionary uprisings that have engulfed
multiple countries and political climes from Morocco to Iran and from
Syria to Yemen, were driven by a 'Delayed Defiance' - a point of
rebellion against domestic tyranny and globalized disempowerment alike
- that signifies no less than the end of Postcolonialism. Sketching a
new geography of liberation, Dabashi shows how the Arab Spring has
altered the geopolitics of the region so radically that we must begin
re-imagining the 'the Middle East'. Ultimately, the 'permanent
revolutionary mood' Dabashi brilliantly explains has the potential to
liberate not only those societies already ignited, but many others
through a universal geopolitics of hope.
