"Narrated by dozens of activists and everyday individuals involved in the Arab Spring,
this book documents the unprecedented events that led to the collapse of dictatorial
regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen. Arab citizens were called to join the
revolt during the second half of 2011, while the revolutionary moment was still unfolding.
Their stories offer unique access to the message that inspired citizens to act, their
experiences during revolt, and the lessons they learned from some of the most dramatic
changes and appalling events to occur in the history of the Arab world. The riveting,
revealing, and at times heartbreaking stories in this volume also include voices from
Syria. Featuring participants from a variety of social and educational backgrounds
and political commitments, these personal stories of action represent the true phenomenon
of the Arab Spring's united though broad social movements, collective identities,
and youthful character. For years, these participants lived under regimes that brutally
suppressed free expression and protest. Their testimony speaks to the multifaceted
emotional, psychological, and cultural factors motivating citizens to join together
and fight, putting a human face on events that might seem abstract or impersonal to
many in the West"--Provided by publisher
