Uprisings, Resistance, and Popular Mobilization in the MENA

While much of the conventional wisdom on the region is top-down, the Middle East and Islamic Studies Department at George Mason University have built up a more developed and diverse understanding of how oppressed and excluded groups of all kinds have struggled to change their conditions, and what this has meant.
