Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Turkey, Iraq, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, and TunisiaThe Arab Spring all started when a young Tunisian fruit seller set himself on fire in protest of a government official confiscating his apples and slapping his face. The aftermath of that one personal protest grew to become the Middle East movement known as the Arab Spring--a wave of disparate events that included protests, revolutions, hopeful reform movements, and bloody civil wars.The Fires of Spring is the first book to bring the post?Arab Spring world to light in a holistic context. A narrative of author Shelly Culbertson's journey through six countries of the Middle East, The Fires of Spring tells the story by weaving together a sense of place, insight about issues of our time, interviews with leaders, history, and personal stories. Culbertson navigates the nuances of street life and peers into ministries, mosques, and women's worlds. She delves into what Arab Spring optimism was about, and at the same time sheds light on the pain and dysfunction that continues to plague parts of the region. The Fires of Spring blends reportage, travel memoir, and analysis in this complex and multifaceted portrait.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. x, [6], 368 pages. Map. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed by author on half-title page. Shelly Culbertson is a senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation. Her research focus includes refugees, education, workforce development, international development, and the Middle East. She is currently leading a portfolio of studies about refugees and displacement in the Middle East, with emphasis on education, jobs, and humanitarian assistance models. She co-led a multi-year effort to advise the Ministry of Education of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq on improving its K-12 and vocational education systems. Prior to RAND, she worked at the U.S. State Department on the Turkey Desk. Culbertson received a B.S. in mathematics and political science from the University of Pittsburgh and a master's degree from the Woodrow Wilson School for Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. She is the author of The Fires of Spring: A Post Arab Spring Journey Through the Turbulent New Middle East. Derived from a Kirkus review: A journalist and RAND Corporation research manager in Qatar, American-born Culbertson traveled recently to six Middle East countries she believes are most indicative of the vast changes taking place in the region since the political upheavals in 2011. Tunisia was the catalyst when in January of that year, the self-immolation of Mohammed Bouazizi ignited national unrest, and a true revolution then convulsed Egypt with the overthrow of a long-running dictator. The author's choice of non-Arab Turkey underscores the profound and unsettling changes in the region that mirror the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. Indeed, she posits, the struggle for the formation of legitimate nation-states began then. After presenting an overview of observations about the region as a whole-including the emphasis on the region's diversity, the struggle to delineate Islam's role in government, balancing the modern versus the past, the emancipation of women, and the inclusion of the overwhelming youthful demographic-Culbertson takes a deep look at each country in turn and asks the people involved what the revolution achieved for them.
