"The people want ...": the first half of slogans chanted by
millions of Arab protesters in 2011 revealed a long-suppressed
craving for democracy. But huge social and economic problems were
also laid bare by their demands. In this landmark work, noted
Middle East analyst Gilbert Achcar assesses the roots and dynamics
of the Arab uprisings, and analyses the specific socio-economic
features that hinder the region's development. Achcar also sheds
light on the nature and role of the movements that use Islam as a
political banner and the oil monarchies that sponsor them. With
incisive and invaluable insight, Achcar outlines the requirements
for a lasting solution to the social crisis and the contours of a
progressive political alternative. What we have witnessed to date
is only the beginning of a revolutionary process that is likely to
extend for many more years to come.
