New Media Discourses, Culture and Politics after the Arab Spring

"This book touches upon significant topics in Egypt and other Arab countries a decade after the uprisings. The diverse array of timely topics are investigated using a combination of both quantitative and qualitative approaches, ultimately demonstrating the notable changes that have taken place in the cultural, social, economic, and political fabric in different Arab states. The book offers a comprehensive discourse analysis on several issues that should be of interest to professionals and academics as well as scholars in the field media and communication." * Rasha Allam, The American University in Cairo, Egypt *
"On the 10th anniversary of the Arab uprisings, Eid Mohamed and Aziz Douai have curated a unique and perceptive collection of essays about these movements, their compositions, discourses, representations, and efficacies. Using compelling, nuanced, and insightful examinations of specific new media contexts and platforms, the Egyptian revolution and other mobilizations in the region are understood on their own political and cultural terms. This is a volume that, in its totality, resists the temptation of forcing the uprisings into narrow equivalency. Instead, it comfortably accepts the messy contradictions and pervasive incongruences of the Arab Spring, leaving the reader with the kind of open-ended uncertainties that are characteristic of revolutions a decade since their eruption." * Adel Iskandar, Simon Fraser University, Canada *
