Book Synopsis
How do colonial legacies shape contemporary realities in the Arab-majority region? What possibilities exist for decolonial futures?
This groundbreaking volume brings together interdisciplinary perspectives to explore power, resistance and knowledge production across diverse social, political and ecological landscapes. From refugee leadership and humanitarian aid to race, education, urban space and environmental crises, the book moves beyond simplistic narratives, engaging deeply with a variety of lived experiences and theoretical insights.
In the shadow of ongoing colonial violence, this collection is both an urgent critique and a hopeful call for new ways of knowing, resisting and reimagining the future of the Arab-majority region.
