Review of ‘The Arab Spring: The End of Postcolonialism’

Review of the classic by Hamid Dabashi: The Arab Spring: the End of Postcolonialism'.

Excerpt: "In 2012 I began my PhD research in earnest, which originally had the broad and optimistic aim of studying dynamics of nonviolent resistance across the entire West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region during the so-called Arab Spring. Entire books on the events had already been released by 2012, seeming to mark a rush to provide expansive analyses of the processes and implications of the so-called Arab Spring."
