Abstract

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.

Abstract

Uses The Innocence of Muslims controversy as a starting point for exploring Christian–Muslim relations in Egypt, Lebanon and JordanHighlights the diversity of Middle Eastern Christian experiences and attitudes towards Islam, including understudied groups (Jordanian Christians, Coptic Catholics, lay Christian activists and politicians)Explores the diverse Muslim attitudes towards Christians, of both Islamist/Salafi figures and official Islam, and their use of Christians as political and ideological tools in the aftermath of the Arab SpringOffers theoretic reflections on violence, agency and the ‘inclusion–moderation hypothesis’ of Islamist actors through a comparative approachIn September 2012, a video titled The Innocence of Muslims provoked widespread condemnation and protests in the Middle East. It depicted an attack on Copts by a presumably Muslim group, connecting it with the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, portrayed as a ruthless killer and child-molester. Although the video could have had dramatic consequences for Christians in the region, since Coptic individuals living in the US had produced it, the controversy turned instead into a moment of Christian–Muslim unity.This book uses this controversy as an entry point into the study of relations between Christians and Muslims in Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan. Instead of dismissing the condemnations and joint reactions as shallow and ritualised displays of solidarity, Anna Hager argues that they offer insights into the mechanisms of Christian–Muslim relations. Christians and Muslims, including Islamist figures, channelled the potential violence – turning it into an occasion to strengthen inter-communal relations and, crucially, their own positions.

Abstract

"Le 'printemps arabe' fut une surprise pour tous: les gouvernements des pays concernés, les observateurs étrangers, mais aussi les intellectuels arabes. Néanmoins, nombre d'entre eux avaient déjà inclus dans leurs oeuvres des scènes de révolte populaire, qu'elles soient fictives ou réelles, depuis l'époque coloniale jusqu'à cette fin d'année 2010, marquée par la révolution du jasmin à Tunis. Depuis, d'autres poètes, nouvellistes et romanciers ont pris la plume pour décrire à leur manière les différentes révoltes qui constituent ce fameux printemps, affrontant la difficulté de s'emparer d'un événement en cours, aux contours encore mal définis, qui par nature demanderait un temps de réflexion et de maturité pour en parler de la meilleure façon. Nous proposons ici une analyse de quelques-uns de ces textes, dus à des auteurs connus et moins connus, qu'ils soient d'Egypte, de Syrie, de Libye, du Qatar ou du Maroc"
