Revolution Without Revolutionaries by Asef Bayat
Making Sense of the Arab Spring
Argues that the Arab uprisings were widespread, largely leaderless popular mobilizations driven by everyday grievances and practices rather than classical revolutionary vanguards; the book examines how ordinary people—through occupation of public space, informal networks, and new communications—contested authoritarian orders, producing uneven, unpredictable outcomes that transformed political life without yielding stable revolutionary leadership or coherent ideological programs, and offers a framework for understanding both the immediate successes and the longer-term setbacks of the Arab Spring.
