Yet the drama of 2010, and the decade of subsequent activism, extended beyond the cities--indeed, beyond Arabs. Bruce Maddy-Weitzman brings to light the sustained post-Arab Spring political movement of North Africa's Amazigh people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Amazigh movement did not begin with the Arab Spring, but it has changed significantly since then. \u003ci\u003eAmazigh Politics in the Wake of the Arab Spring\u003c\/i\u003e details the increasingly material goals of Amazigh activism, as protest has shifted from the arena of ethnocultural recognition to that of legal and socioeconomic equality. Amazigh communities responded to the struggles for freedom around them by pressing territorial and constitutional claims while rejecting official discrimination and neglect. Arab activists, steeped in postcolonial nationalism and protective of their hegemonic position, largely refused their support, yet flailing regimes were forced to respond to sharpening Amazigh demands or else jeopardize their threadbare legitimacy. Today the Amazigh question looms larger than ever, as North African governments find they can no longer ignore the movement's interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Maddy-Weitzman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477324828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477324820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 1.02d","brand":"Bruce Maddy-Weitzman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057721962751,"sku":"9781477324820","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffb62679-e13e-4a7f-be77-76b8f5fed025.jpg?v=1685048551","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amazigh-politics-in-the-wake-bruce-maddy-weitzman-9781477324820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
