Since the uprisings of 2010 and 2011, it has often been assumed
that the politics of the Arab-speaking world is dominated, and will
continue to be dominated, by orthodox Islamic thought and
authoritarian politics. Challenging these assumptions, Line Khatib
explores the current liberal movement in the region, examining its
activists and intellectuals, their work, and the strengths and
weaknesses of the movement as a whole. By investigating the
underground and overlooked actors and activists of liberal
activism, Khatib problematizes the ways in which Arab liberalism
has been dismissed as an insignificant sociopolitical force, or a
mere reaction to Western formulations of liberal politics. Instead,
she demonstrates how Arab liberalism is a homegrown phenomenon that
has influenced the politics of the region since the nineteenth
century. Shedding new light on an understudied movement, Khatib
provokes a re-evaluation of the existing literature and offers new
ways of conceptualizing the future of liberalism and democracy in
the modern Arab world.
