Contentious Politics in the Middle East: Popular Resistance and Marginalized Activism beyond the Arab Uprisings
While the Arab people took center stage in the Arab Spring protests, academic studies have focused more on structural factors to understand the limitations of these popular uprisings. This book analyzes the role and complexities of popular agency in the Arab Spring through the framework of contentious politics and social movement theory.

I liked this book for various reasons. Each chapter focused on the experience of a MENA region nation. The examples of relevant contentious politics dissected many facets to explain the body of evidence that ultimately revealed a common thread; whether the country was Turkey, Egypt, the GCC, or any other one in the region.
A lot can be learned from it by everyone.
