A National Endowment for Democracy Notable Book of 2022 Protest has
been a key method of political claim-making in Jordan from the late
Ottoman period to the present day. More than moments of rupture
within normal-time politics, protests have been central to
challenging state power, as well as reproducing it—and the
spatial dynamics of protests play a central role in the
construction of both state and society. With this book, Jillian
Schwedler considers how space and geography influence protests and
repression, and, in challenging conventional narratives of
Hashemite state-making, offers the first in-depth study of
rebellion in Jordan. Based on twenty-five years of field research,
Protesting Jordan examines protests as they are situated in the
built environment, bringing together considerations of networks,
spatial imaginaries, space and place-making, and political
geographies at local, national, regional, and global scales.
Schwedler considers the impact of time and temporality in the
lifecycles of individual movements. Through a mixed interpretive
methodology, this book illuminates the geographies of power and
dissent and the spatial practices of protest and repression,
highlighting the political stakes of competing narratives about
Jordan's past, present, and future.
