When Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia,
in December 2010, sparking a wave of popular uprisings that would
topple dictatorial regimes across North Africa and the Middle East,
observers hailed the onset of a great Arab Awakening.
But this wasn t the first time people in Tunisia, Egypt, and
elsewhere across the region had taken to the streets demanding
fundamental change. An earlier generation, in the 1950s and 1960s,
rose against Arab governments that were doing the bidding of
colonial powers. A generation later, many of these revolutionary
heroes and their inheritors had themselves become murderous
tyrants, leading the people to rebel a second time.
In The Second Arab Awakening, distinguished academic and writer
Adeed Dawisha brings a deep historical perspective to the recent
Arab uprisings, tracing the fledgling and uncertain progress so far
of these revolutions and the Islamist challenge that has emerged in
their wake. Elegantly written, detailed yet concise, Dawisha s
illuminating exploration of the threats and opportunities facing
the victorious revolutionaries provides necessary perspective on a
fast-changing political landscape."
