‘Refolution!’

Revolutionary Life: The Everyday of the Arab Spring
Forfatter: Asef Bayat Harvard
Forlag: University Press, (USA)
REBELLION / Asef Bayat tries to challenge the analysis of the Arab Spring (2011) as an unequivocal defeat. He is absolutely right to focus on the space occupation model. Bayat has introduced the term 'refolution' as a description of the uprisings – without reference to the three dominant models of revolution.
