In Creative Radicalism in the Middle East, Caroline Rooney maps out a new generation of critical thinking and details the terms of the unfinished project of Arab Revolutions. She observed these revolutions closely, thought them through thoroughly, and then reflected upon their causes and consequences for a good period of critical meditation, and then just about the time when the world thought these revolutions were finished and done with she came out with this bold and brilliant opus. We all have to go back to the drawing board. -- Hamid Dabashi, HAGOP KEVORKIAN PROFESSOR OF IRANIAN STUDIES AND COMPARATIVE LITERATURE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, USA ‘At the core of the intellectual contribution of the volume is the thought of the revolutionary movement as itself a work of art, demanding an aesthetic approach beyond the tug and pull of valorised political and interpretative positions. A masterful example of what a genuinely engaged and committed humanist thought can achieve.’ -- Ayman El-Desouky, Associate Professor of Modern Arabic and Comparative Literature, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, Qatar
