This study examines the ways in which the relationships between the
creative power of revolutionary people and the revolutionary power
of creative artists, especially writers, are evident in the
on-going Arab uprisings. Bringing together literature, cultural
geography, and human rights discourse, it explores a range of
recent novels and memoirs from Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria.
These works sought to unravel the political geographies of
injustice and popular discontent and thus 'anticipated' or
imaginatively envisioned as well as participated in some of the
major current upheavals in their particular national contexts. By
revealing socio-economic divisions and spatial injustice,
disappearances and political prisons, surveillance and exile as
well as the revolutionary spirit of oppressed populations and the
dangers of counter-revolutionary forces, civil strife, and
fundamentalism, they variously re-imagine the realities that
triggered the transformations we are now witnessing.
