Rock the Casbah: The New Social Order of the Middle East
September 26, 2011
Award-winning journalist Robin Wright tells the inside stories behind the rage and rebellions across the Islamic world, which represent the greatest push for empowerment anywhere in the early 21st century. A decade after the 9/11 attacks, Wright explores the new "counter-jihad" against both dictators and extremists. The new trends are most visible in political uprisings in pivotal countries like Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Bahrain. But she also explains the new culture of change — reflected among Muslim rappers, comedians, playwrights, and poets — that will be just as important in defining the next decade.
