The Arab Lefts

Relocating the Arab Left in transnational dynamics and revolutionary networks, this book examines the circulation of people, symbols, and ideas between the Arab world, Europe and Afro-Asian areas of resistance. Based on an analysis of textual and audio-visual materials, this book sheds light on the resilience of Arab radical and democratic traditions that took shape despite local and global wars, state coercion, neo-liberal globalisation and repeated failures. Interrogating commonly accepted categories in particular the category of 'Left' the collection also invites reflection on how a re-engagement with the 'Long Sixties' relates to today's political landscape and conception of history and temporality.
