In the face of vicious oppression and years of authoritarian and
neoliberal ideology, how did the Arab Left assert itself during the
Arab Uprisings? In this bold new account, Caroline Rooney outlines
the importance of aesthetic strategies and creative expression in
the left's critique of authoritarian and Islamic extremist
discourse during the revolutions. Using a wide array of texts and
sources, both Arab and non-Arab, the book engages affect theory to
show how a poetics of disappointment, despair and distrust, to
dignity, solidarity and reconfigured senses of the sacred, offered
a way for the left to reclaim ethical and progressive 'radical'
values co-opted by political leaders and extremists in the Middle
East. In so doing, the book offers an original conceptual framework
for differentiating 'radicalization' from the creative radicalism
of the Arab avant-garde.
