Arab Spring

摘要

The events of the Arab Spring in North Africa and the Middle East drew worldwide attention to the plights of people who for decades have endured injustice, repression, and often violence at the hands of corrupt and abusive regimes. Here Bishara (senior political analyst, Al-Jazeera English; Palestine/Israel: Peace or Apartheid) focuses on those whose lives and actions influenced the uprisings, while providing a thorough review of the historical events that led to the revolutions and the influences of Western intervention, religion, economics, local culture, and other factors.
