Reviews
"There have been few events as consequential in recent history as the Arab Spring, and if one wants to understand its genesis, one should read this book. Engaging in a regionwide analysis with a concentration on Egypt and Tunisia, Bishara brings out little-known aspects of the tremors that have been felt around the world.... Bishara presents a clear-eyed assessment of the dictatorships that have blighted the Arab landscape." Foreign Policy in Focus "Bishara tears down the Western media's narrative of the Arab revolutions....[ The Invisible Arab ] helps make all that was invisible to the Western eye about the Arab Spring visible." London School of Economics Review of Books " The Invisible Arab is a small book that pulls a lot of punches....Bishara's analysis is thoughtful and detailed." Foreign Affairs "[I]nformed and engaging..." Thinking Fits (blog) "Marwan Bishara's The Invisible Arab ... sings like a canary.... The Invisible Arab is at its most resonant when reconstructing the building blocs of Arab misery that pinned down much of the 20th century.", Huffington Post "An engaging new book...[Bishara] delivers a sweeping, provocative and at times entertaining tale, revolution jokes and all.... The Invisible Arab is an insightful and absorbing read for inquiring minds, and a valuable tool for students of the Middle East. As globally resonant events continue to unfold in the region, a sequel is clearly in order." Newsweek / Daily Beast "Avoiding the pitfall of seeing the revolution in isolation, Bishara elegantly charts how the potent forces of national-ism, Islamism, and Western intervention all mixed to create last year's revolutions." ID: International Dialogue, A Multidisciplinary Journal of World Affairs "[ The Invisible Arab ] is a must-read for students and scholars of the Middle East and the Arab world....The book does an excellent job of documenting the efforts at change, and suggesting how change might ultimately occur." Wisconsin State Journal, Christopher Dickey, Newsweek / TheDailyBeast Marwan Bishara's The Invisible Arab is the single most perceptive and accessible book I've read about the roots of revolt in the Middle East and the brave, chaotic, exciting and frightening new world they have begun to create." Kirkus Reviews "A keen, journalistic look at the making of the Arab Spring and its ramifications." Huffington Post "[Bishara] delivers a sweeping, provocative and at times entertaining tale, revolution jokes and all…. The Invisible Arab is an insightful and absorbing read for inquiring minds, and a valuable tool for students of the Middle East. As globally resonant events continue to unfold in the region, a sequel is clearly in order." Booklist "[Bishara] brings a long perspective on the factors that have led to the Arab Spring and the challenges ahead as resisters take up the task of securing freedom and justice and reconciling the emerging sense of nationalism with democracy. Bishara captures the spirit and energy of the young resisters and the violent reactions in Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, and Syria.", "There have been few events as consequential in recent history as the Arab Spring, and if one wants to understand its genesis, one should read this book.

Synopsis
The Invisible Arab traces the roots of the revolutions in the Arab world. Marwan Bishara, chief policy analyst of Al Jazeera English and the anchor of the program "Empire", combines on-the-ground reporting, extensive research and scholarship, and political commentary in this book on the complex influences that made the revolutions possible. Bishara argues that the inclusive, pluralistic nationalism that motivated the revolutions are indispensable to their long-term success. The Invisible Arab is a voyage in time from the Arab world's 'liberation generation' through the 'defeated' and 'lost generations', arriving at today's 'miracle generation'. Bishara unpacks how this new generation, long seen as a demographic bomb, has proved to be the agent of progress, unity and freedom. It has in turn used social networks to mobilize for social justice. Bishara discusses how Israel, oil, terrorism and radical Islam have affected the interior identity of the region as well as Western projections upon it. Protection of Israel, Western imperial ambition, a thirst for oil, and fear of radicalism have caused many Western regimes and media to characterize Arab countries and people as unreceptive to democracy or progress. These ideas are as one-dimensional as they are foolhardy. Bishara argues that the Arab revolutions present a great window of opportunity for reinventing and improving Arab ties with the rest of the world-- notably the West--on the basis of mutual respect and mutual interest. The revolutions will be judged by how they realize freedom and justice, and how they can pave the way for reconciling and accommodating nationalism and Islam with democracy. Bishara argues that these pillars--liberty and justice reconciled with religion and nationalism, form the bedrock that will allow stability and progress to flourish in the Arab world and beyond., The Invisible Arab traces the roots of the revolutions in the Arab world.
