Abstract
This book comes at an important juncture of time and provides a critical scholarly intervention that highlights the multifaceted, complex, and contradictory dimensions of the unprecedented political, social, and economic struggles that are transforming the Middle East and other parts of the world, especially in Europe and the Americas. Contributions by authors from different parts of the world engage in an exploration and analysis of a variety of themes, including the following: the concept of dignity; social movements; cultures of resistance; geo-political economy; capital, state, and internationalization; reverberations beyond the Middle East, especially in the Americas. It is precisely the endeavour to theoretically and methodologically link the Arab Revolutions to resistance and protests movements in other part of the world, the spatial notion of Beyond, that makes this project different and potentially appealing to an international audience beyond the Middle East.
