- This book (120,000 words), supported by three RCUK grants, offers an original study of the distinctions between radicalism and extremism in the Middle East that the discourses of radicalisation have served to obscure. It draws on extensive fieldwork carried out in Egypt, Lebanon and the West Bank from 2009 to 2017. This fieldwork entailed interviews and creative collaborations with Arab revolutionaries, and workshops with Arab intellectuals at Egyptian and Lebanese universities. It further entailed discussions with Egyptian and Lebanese journalists and psychotherapists, and research with working communities in Islamic Cairo. The result is an in-depth understanding of Arab activism.
