Reviews

'Natalia Ribas-Mateos has produced a brilliant analysis of the consequences of the Arab Spring in terms of new and ongoing mobilities, migrations and displacement of populations - an essential component to understanding current global changes in the region and beyond. Empirically grounded and theoretically innovative, the book is a wonderful example of comparative interdisciplinary scholarship on an issue with both local and global resonance.' --Russell King, University of Sussex, UK

‘Migration, Mobilities and the Arab Spring does a fantastic job of uniting multiple disciplines and areas of research to show just how onerous the migrant situation in the Eastern Mediterranean continues to be. Contextualizing how globalization and social movements relate to intra- and inter-regional migratory flows is no simple feat. While there is always room for sharpening one’s approach to doing so, this book will serve as a wonderful addition to migration research and upper level syllabi aiming to bridge between the theory and practice of migration and related developmental concerns.’ -- Peter D.
