The Arab Radical Left explores the entangled histories of Left-wing
trends across the Mashreq and Maghreb regions in the 'Long
Sixties'. Based on an analysis of textual and audio-visual
materials, it surveys radical Left traditions in the Arab world
that took shape between the 1950s and 1970s. The book is divided
into three thematic parts that are compiled of case studies
utilising a multitude of perspectives in political theory, history,
literary studies and sociology. In the first part, the authors
study revolutionary circulations of men, representations, and
know-how. The second part is devoted to interrogating the
multifaceted tensions between local, regional, and global
challenges. The final part scrutinises the transformations of
political subjectivities and invites reflection on the general
shift from a revolutionary configuration of temporality to the
closure of time - and the so-called 'Left Melancholy'. The result
is a balanced account of Left-wing revolutionaries that provides
new insights into the history of the Middle East as well as
contemporary radicalisation processes and authoritarian rules.
