Table of ContentsReviewsA timely and invaluable contribution to the understanding of the post-Islamism, modern Islamic political thought, and recent social and civil rights movements in the MENA region.-- Elhum Haghighat, author of Demography and Democracy: Transitions in the Middle East and North Africa In this timely and well-crafted volume Mahdavi has pulled out the top gun scholars and critical thinkers collectively concerned with the fate of democratic aspirations in Arab and Muslim world to reflect back at the revolutionary uprisings of 2010s from the vantage point of 2020s. The prose and politics of this very volume are the clearest indication that Arab revolutions have spectacularly succeeded to alter our critical consciousness of the world.-- Hamid Dabashi, author of Arab Spring: The End of Postcolonialism Middle East exceptionalism suggests this region cannot be analyzed in terms of general socio-economic and political processes due to an unchanging cultural essence rooted in Islamic traditions. This book demolishes this idea. Historically grounded and comprehensive in its scope, it is essential reading on the topic.-- Nader Hashemi, University of Denver This fascinating volume speaks to a burgeoning literature that has challenged essentialist explanations of politics in the Middle East and the Islamic World while highlighting the historical, cultural, and political features of the regions.-- Ammar Shamaileh, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies The Myth of Middle East Exceptionalism takes stock of the unfinished social movements more than a decade after their birth in the Middle East. A must-read.-- Fawaz A.
