«¿Por qué se rebelan?» is Sami Naïr's essay on the Arab uprisings, published by Clave Intelectual in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
Sami Naïr starts from the question of whether the Arab Spring has ended and explains how the uprisings that toppled dictatorships ended up giving victory to political Islamism. He covers Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Libya and Yemen, as well as Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and the Sahel, and proposes an interpretation of the earthquake shaking the Mediterranean.
It is number 7 in the Social Essay collection. Originally published in French, this Spanish edition appeared in 2013.
Aimed at readers interested in politics, sociology and recent history of the Arab world; recommended reading from age 15.
