Providing a longue duree perspective on the Arab uprisings of 2011,
Benoit Challand narrates the transformation of citizenship in the
Arab Middle East, from a condition of latent citizenship in the
colonial and post-independence era to the revolutionary dynamics
that stimulated democratic participation. Considering the parallel
histories of citizenship in Yemen and Tunisia, Challand develops
innovative theories of violence and representation that view
cultural representations as calls for a decentralized political
order and democratic accountability over the security forces. He
argues that a new collective imaginary emerged in 2011 when the
people represented itself as the only legitimate power able to
decide when violence ought to be used to protect all citizens from
corrupt power. Shedding light upon uprisings in Yemen and Tunisia,
but also elsewhere in the Middle East, this book offers deeper
insights into conceptions of violence, representation, and
democracy.
