Summary

1. Beyond the Arab Spring in North Africa collects diverse, interdisciplinary studies on the phenomenon of the Arab Spring in North Africa. Chapters deal with a wide range of topics that include both minor as well as major themes. These include the formation of youth movements in Egypt long before the Arab Spring and their subsequent participation in the revolution; analysis of Tunisian women's participation in Arab Spring events; spatial disparities in Tunisia and their impact on the revolution, with special focus on Sidi Bouzid as one of the socioeconomically weakest areas; rights and social status of sexual minorities in Tunisia; polemics over the role of New Media as both revolutionary and contra-revolutionary tools; broader discussion over the prospects for multilateral cooperation and regional integration in the studied area; reflection of the Arab Spring in the Czech media; and impact of the work of ʻAli ʻAbd al-Raziq on the debates over political secularism in Islamic society; as well as a general debate over democratization in North Africa, or Arab states as such. [This book] will find its readers in all relevant social sciences dealing in various contexts with contemporary North Africa. -- Back cover.
