The waves of protest ignited by the self-immolation of Muhammad
Bouazizi in Tunisia in late 2010 highlighted for an international
audience the importance of contentious politics in the Middle East
and North Africa. John Chalcraft's ground-breaking account of
popular protest emphasizes the revolutionary modern history of the
entire region. Challenging top-down views of Middle Eastern
politics, he looks at how commoners, subjects and citizens have
long mobilised in defiance of authorities. Chalcraft takes examples
from a wide variety of protest movements from Morocco to Iran. He
forges a new narrative of change over time, creating a truly
comparative framework rooted in the dynamics of hegemonic
contestation. Beginning with movements under the Ottomans, which
challenged corruption and oppression under the banners of religion,
justice, rights and custom, this book goes on to discuss the impact
of constitutional movements, armed struggles, nationalism and
independence, revolution and Islamism. A work of unprecedented
range and depth, this volume will be welcomed by undergraduates and
graduates studying protest in the region and beyond.
