Bahrain's Uprising: Resistance and Repression in the Gulf

Bahrain's Uprising: Resistance and Repression in the Gulf

While the revolutions known as the Arab Spring took place across many nations, attention has been disproportionately focused on the North African nationsâ‚¬"Libya, Egypt, and Tunisiaâ‚¬"while the quieter revolution in Bahrain has been largely ignored.Â Bahrainâ‚¬s UprisingÂ rights that wrong, bringing together a roster of knowledgeable contributorsâ‚¬"all of whom live or have lived in Bahrainâ‚¬"to reveal the social and political background to the revolution and its ongoing aftermath.

Painting a picture of a nation defined by oil wealth and deep inequality,Â Bahrain UprisingÂ offers a voice for the ordinary citizen, telling the story of the uprising and taking readers into the dynamic culture of street protests that continue to put pressure on the slowly changing monarchy.Â Bahrain UprisingÂ will be an invaluable contribution to our understanding not just of Bahrain, but of the Arab Spring and grass-roots democratic movements in general.
