Lineages Of Revolt by Adam Hanieh
The Arab Spring uprisings have been described as a simple expression of mass protest against authoritarian regimes. Adam Hanieh claims that this is more than a cry for democracy. He shows how an analysis of capitalist development in the Middle East is key to understanding these revolutions. This is not quite the first analyses of the Arab Spring; however, it goes in-depth to examine the political economy of the Middle East. Hanieh's research and findings as presented in Lineages of Revolt will be essential to attaining peace in the Middle East.

Adam Hanieh’s Lineages of Revolt is a bracing corrective to this sort of thinking and deserves its place on the bookshelves and reading lists of students of the region and activists alikeBoth meatily empirical and sharply theoretical, Hanieh’s book dispatches several of the clichés that inform the study of the political economy of the Arab world
