Prior to 2011, popular imagination perceived the Muslim Middle East
as unchanging and unchangeable, frozen in its own traditions and
history. In "Life as Politics," Asef Bayat argues that such
presumptions fail to recognize the routine, yet important, ways in
which ordinary people make meaningful change through everyday
actions. First published just months before the Arab Spring swept
across the region, this timely and prophetic book sheds light on
the ongoing acts of protest, practice, and direct daily action.
The second edition includes three new chapters on the Arab Spring
and Iran's Green Movement and is fully updated to reflect recent
events. At heart, the book remains a study of agency in times of
constraint. In addition to ongoing protests, millions of people
across the Middle East are effecting transformation through the
discovery and creation of new social spaces within which to make
their claims heard. This eye-opening book makes an important
contribution to global debates over the meaning of social movements
and the dynamics of social change.
