{"product_id":"generations-of-dissent-alexa-firat-9780815636694","title":"Generations of Dissent: Intellectuals, Cultural Production, and the State in the Middle East and North Africa","description":"Situated in the fields of contemporary literary and cultural studies, the ten essays collected in \u003ci\u003eGenerations of Dissent\u003c\/i\u003e shed light on the artistic creativity, cultural production, intellectual movements, and acts of political dissidence across the Middle East and North Africa. Born of the contributors' research on dissidence and state co-option in a variety of artistic and creative fields, the volume's core themes reflect the notion that the recent Arab uprisings did not appear in a cultural, political, or historical vacuum. Rather than focus on how protestors \"finally\" broke the walls of fear created by authoritarian regimes in the region, these essays show that the uprisings were rooted in multiple generations and various acts of resistance decades prior to 2010-11. Firat and Taleghani's volume maps the complicated trajectories of artistic and creative dissent across time and space, showing how artists have challenged institutions and governments over the past six decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexa Firat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815636695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815636694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021","brand":"Alexa Firat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983129247999,"sku":"9780815636694","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7ae51f6-1da3-48bc-ac12-8165ec145629.jpg?v=1683264835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/generations-of-dissent-alexa-firat-9780815636694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
