Reviews
"Emel Akçali's edited book bristles with intelligence and detail; it provides one of the best intellectual accounts of the Arab Spring's complex emergence and transformation." Vijay Prashad, LeftWord Books, India
"A fascinating book that makes a distinct and novel contribution to understanding the state and neoliberalism in the Middle East. The range of countries and themes discussed combined with its sophisticated treatment of neoliberal governmentality as a lens through which to interpret power and contestation mark this as an original and stimulating collection." - Adam Hanieh, SOAS, University of London, UK
"In an environment where 'neoliberal' has become a ubiquitous label, this volume provides a refreshing and rigorous critique of the interactions between class, violence, state-building, sectarianism, religiosity, subjectivity, and political economy that shape everyday life. With chapters that explore the power and the limits of governments and people in Yemen, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Turkey, and Israel/Palestine, the authors provide a critical, theoretical, and materially grounded outlook on state and society in the Middle East." - Sherene Seikaly, Department of History, University of California, USA; editor of the Arab Studies Journal
