Dispatches from the Arab Spring: Understanding the New Middle East
In theirDispatches from the Arab Spring, Paul Amar and Vijay Prashad have brought together some groundbreaking writings on the unfolding Arab revolutions. The common feature of this set of exquisite reflections is their critical intimacies with the fact and phenomena of the Arab Spring and an abiding commitment to its success and promises. The result is the rare feat of a sober and uplifting read at one and the same time.—Hamid Dabashi, Columbia University
