Even though on the surface revolutions proceed as total events represented by overarching 'people, ' they are marked by fragments and fractures. Focusing on gender and place, this book challenges such an all-embracing image by uncovering the plurality of voices, interests, actions, and expectations that constitute the totality we call 'revolution.' As such it is a valuable contribution to the study of the Arab revolutions beyond the states, regimes, and formal institutions. --Asef Bayat, Catherine and Bruce Bastian Professor of Global and Transnational Studies, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

This book will certainly add to the scholarship and would be a highly informative read for those interested in deeply understanding the multiple levels and spaces in which revolution has happened in the Arab world and beyond. Freedom Without Permission is an insightful and fascinating read. -- Autumn R.
