Before the 2011 uprisings, the Middle East and North Africa were frequently seen as a uniquely undemocratic region with little civic activism. The first edition of this volume, published at the start of the Arab Spring, challenged these views by revealing a region rich with social and political mobilizations. This fully revised second edition extends the earlier explorations of Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and adds new case studies on the uprisings in Tunisia, Syria, and Yemen. The case studies are inspired by social movement theory, but they also critique and expand the horizons of the theory's classical concepts of political opportunity structures, collective action frames, mobilization structures, and repertoires of contention based on intensive fieldwork. This strong empirical base allows for a nuanced understanding of contexts, culturally conditioned rationality, the strengths and weaknesses of local networks, and innovation in contentious action to give the reader a substantive understanding of events in the Arab world before and since 2011.
“Solcu bir işkence mağdurunu savunurken bölücü örgüt üyesi, türbanlı kızın hakkını savunurken irticacı, travestiyi savunurken ahlâk düşmanı ilan edilirler. Bir yere kaçmazlar. Hep burada, inadına vahşetin menzilinde dikilirler.” Yıldırım Türker’in Keskin Bir Hayat’ın önsözünde çizdiği bu “insan hakları savunucusu” portresi, herkesten çok Eren Keskin’e uyuyor. Bircan Değirmenci’nin çalışması, Eren Keskin’in insan hakları mücadelesinin her cephesinde süren hayat hikâyesini kat ediyor. Mutlu bir çocukluk geçirmenin armağanıyla başlayan, bütün mağdurlarla dayanışmanın, her haksızlığın, insan onurunu zedeleyen her şeyin ...

Emre presents Alevia media for the first time, demonstrating the flourishing of ethno-religious imaginaries through community media.
With an estimated population of 35 million, Kurds are the largest ethnic group in the world without an independent state of their own. Kurds constitute about 20 percent of Turkey, the largest Kurdish population in the region. The history of the Kurds in Turkey is marked by state violence against them and decades of conflict between the Turkish military and Kurdish fighters. Although the continuous struggle of the Kurdish people is well known, and the political actors involved in the conflict have received much attention, an increasing wave of scholarship is being written from the vantage point of the Kurds themselves. Alemdaroglu and Göçek’s volume develops a fresh approach by moving awa...
