Providing an interdisciplinary approach to interconnections across regional and communal boundaries, this volume situates itself at the intersection of political science, cultural studies, media and film studies, and Middle Eastern studies, while offering some key critical revisions to dominant approaches in social and political theory. Through the unique contributions of each of its authors, this book will offer a much-needed addition to the study of Middle East politics and the Arab Spring. Moreover, although its specific focus is on the Arab context, its analysis will be of issues of significant relevance to a changing world order. <p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Eid Mohamed</b><b> </b>is Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and US-Arab Cultural Politics at Doha Institute for Graduate Studies and the University of Guelph, Canada.</p> <b>Dalia Fahmy</b><b> </b>is Associate Professor of Political Science at Long Island University, USA.<br><p></p><br>
