Where conventional wisdom has it that Assad's army is now battling against religious fanatics for control of the country, Saleh argues that the emancipatory, democratic mass movement that ignited the revolution still exists, though it is beset on all sides. Saleh offers incisive critiques of the impact of the revolution and war on Syrian governance, identity, and society to produce a powerful and compelling response to the traumas that define the contemporary Syrian experience. All those concerned with the conflict should take note."--Amazon.com. 651 0 $a Syria $x History $y Civil War, 2011- 650 0 $a Political violence $z Syria $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Protest movements $z Syria $x History $y 21st century. 700 1 $a Yassin-Kassab, Robin, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213023252.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171205012119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D7C18FAC38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
