Eventually, it led to cracking down on the protests with excessive force, which caused tremendous human suffering, destruction, and also escalation of extreme insurgency. The author analyzes major literary and artistic works from Egypt, Syria and Tunisia, and their political context. This monograph will be helpful to scholars and students in the growing field of Middle Eastern and North African Studies and everyone who is interested in the politics of MENA.Middle East Today,2945-7025Middle EastPolitics and governmentAfricaPolitics and governmentReligion and politicsPeaceMiddle Eastern PoliticsAfrican PoliticsPolitics and ReligionPeace and Conflict StudiesMiddle EastPolitics and government.AfricaPolitics and government.Religion and politics.Peace.Middle Eastern Politics.African Politics.Politics and Religion.Peace and Conflict Studies.709.22909.097492708312Ismat Riadauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1057789MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910338041103321Artists, Writers and The Arab Spring2494523UNINA
