In October 2019, hundreds of thousands took to the streets of
Lebanon to protest austerity measures in what became known as the
"thawra." These were the largest mass protests seen in the
country's modern history. The Lebanon Uprising of 2019 puts the
revolution in its historical and regional context and also follows
the huge transformations that have been unraveling in Lebanon ever
since. The book is a unique source of testimonies that brings to
the fore the voices of those scholars, activists, researchers, and
journalists who took part in the protests or were closely involved
in the unfolding events. These accounts include stories about
specific events and struggles, views of the uprising from various
regions of the country, and reflections on topics such as the labor
struggle, disability, the student movement, foreign interventions,
the struggle for preserving environmental spaces, the role of
refugees and non-Lebanese within the movement, and women and queer
participation. The book situates the protests within the
historical, political, economic, social, and environmental
foundations of the Lebanese polity, as well as in the broader
context of a "second wave" of Arab uprisings and a global wave of
upheavals in 2019, making this book a testament to the rich history
of protests and activism in the country. It features some primary
documents, including photos and other materials that were
disseminated in the streets and over social media platforms, making
this book an important resource of first-hand knowledge.
