Publisher's Synopsis
The 2011 outburst of uprisings by the Arab peoples caught the world's attention, and this incisive analysis shows that the current Arab uprisings are primarily anti-imperialist—rather than anticapitalist—movements. Arguing that, to take control of their future, Arab peoples need to unify in a positive and genuinely new way and struggle alongside others against capitalism and imperialism, this book also reveals how the 2011 events have shaped an alternative future.
