Reviews for The Reawakening of the Arab World: Challenge and Change in the Aftermath of the Arab Spring
Samir Amin has given us another of his refreshingly intelligent, deeply historical, and structurally analytic books. Even when one doesn't agree, one is forced to rethink one's assumptions. This is an indispensable guide to the political struggles of the contemporary Middle East. -Immanuel Wallerstein, Yale University
