[T]he contributors to The Arab Revolts . . . do an excellent job of filling in some of the gaps in Western media coverage, going beyond the dominant narrative of spontaneous youthful protests, aided by the use of social media, to show a foundation of protest built over decades. . . . This is not a book written by academics for academics, but rather serves as an introduction to readers from any background.

The use of the phrase "Arab Revolts" rather than "the Arab Spring" for the title provides an insight into the purpose and scope of the book. Contrary to popular belief, the authors demonstrate that the protests of the Arab Spring were not spontaneous, unprecedented youthful uprisings, but rather were built on decades of protests and strikes against regimes that oversaw an increasing disparity between the prosperous elite and the majority of the population." - Denise Jenison, H-Empire, "This excellent collection of articles from Middle East Report provides an unusually deep and wide analysis of the phenomena collectively known as the Arab Spring....

Synopsis
The 2011 eruptions of popular discontent across the Arab world, popularly dubbed the Arab Spring, were local manifestations of a regional mass movement for democracy, freedom, and human dignity. Authoritarian regimes were either overthrown or put on notice that the old ways of oppressing their subjects would no longer be tolerated. These essays from Middle East Report --the leading source of timely reporting and insightful analysis of the region--cover events in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Syria, and Yemen. Written for a broad audience of students, policymakers, media analysts, and general readers, the collection reveals the underlying causes of the revolts by identifying key trends during the last two decades leading up to the recent insurrections., The 2011 eruptions of popular discontent across the Arab world, popularly dubbed the Arab Spring, were local manifestations of a regional mass movement for democracy, freedom, and human dignity.
