Social Movements Journal Publishes Special Issue on Arab Uprisings

The interdisciplinary journal Interface: a journal for and about social movements has just released a special issue entitled “The season of revolution: the Arab Spring and European mobilizations.” The first half focuses on the Arab uprisings, while the second half focuses on the recent uprisings in Spain and elsewhere in Europe.

Below I list the thirteen articles focused on the Arab Spring, including Egypt, but if you want the European articles as well you can download the entire 408-page issue free as a .pdf file by clicking on the title or the cover image above.
