Summary:
"In this book, Asef Bayat, a leading scholar of the Middle East and North Africa, presents a new way of thinking about the Arab Spring and the meaning of revolution. Blending field research, on-the-ground interviews, and social theory, Bayat shows how the practice of everyday life in Egypt and Tunisia was fundamentally altered by revolutionary activity"-- Provided by publisher.
